Paws in the Park 2018

This year’s Leaders of the Pack are Chili & Chip Raymond!

Paws in the Park is Cascades Humane Society’s largest fundraiser and a family-friendly dog walkathon!

Paws in the Park 2018 is on Saturday, June 2nd and includes a carnival theme and a beautiful 1.3 mile walkathon through Cascades Park. Grab your dog and join us, or you can walk without a pet. Bring the whole family – the paved walking path is perfect for strollers and wagons. Registration begins at 9am, and the walk starts at 10!

The Detroit Circus performers will be back this year! They will be giving 3 FREE performances at 11am, 12pm, and 1pm!

Activity tickets will be available on site for games. Other activities include:

• Face Painting and Balloon twisting
• 1.3-mile Pet Parade through Cascades Falls Park
• K-9 Police Dog Demonstration
• Dog Photo Booth
• Peanut’s Kissing Booth
• 50/50 Raffle
• Terrier Racing
• Doggie Costume Competition
• Pet-related vendor booths
• Food, drinks, and cotton candy for purchase provided by The Jackson Breakfast Rotary Club

Last year, more than 400 animal lovers came out to support the Cascades Humane Society and raised over $30,000 to help care for abandoned animals. This year, we hope you will join us and consider bringing your own Pack (team).

Our goal this year is $35,000 and we can’t do it without your help!

Registration is just $25 for adults ant $15 for kids when you register before May 19th. After May 19th, registration is $30 for adults and $20 for kids. PLUS you get a FREE Paws in the Park T-Shirt in your size! Tickets for some of the carnival activities will be available for purchase the day of the event.
