‘Spooky Pooch’ walk helps raise funds and adopt dogs

On Saturday, the Pre-Vet club hosted a  fundraising event on campus called the Spooky Pooch Walk. Dog owners showed up along with the general public, tallying  the total number of participants around 16 people. Due to the cold morning, most people were dressed to combat the weather but were also ready to support the Pre-Vet club. 

Friends of Pets were on site in order for people who did not have a dog to still walk one. A few dogs wore “adopt me” vests, allowing people the opportunity to grow connected to any of the dogs in hopes of giving them a brand-new home. 

Both human and canines were dressed up in the spirit of Halloween. With different fees for the event, most people signed up early to avoid a $5 addition to their price based on which race they decided to participate in. Signing up for 1K, there was a $10 fee for signing up early, $15 at the gate. The 3K was $20, and the 5K was $25 for signing up early.  Fees for each walk will be used for a fundraiser for the Pre-Vet club. Pizza and hot chocolate were provided for those participating.
