Hundreds of dogs to take to the streets of downtown Waynesville

The Downtown Waynesville Dog Walk will start at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 6, at the Haywood County Courthouse, and parade down the street.

Categories in a dog contest include best tail wagger, best dressed, most talented and best owner/dog lookalike.

The walk is a fundraiser hosted by Sarge’s Animal Rescue Foundation.

Teams who raise the most in donations win prizes. Last year, The Bracers won 1st place with The Thundering Herd in 2nd place, who used their website as a collection point for pledges and donations.

Donations to Sarge’s are critical to help offset the costs of medical supplies, boarding dogs and cats rescued from euthanasia from the county animal control facility when there are no foster homes available and operating the new adoption center.

Pre-registration will be held Thursday and Friday, August 4th and 5th from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. at Sarge’s Adoption Center located in the Waynesville Industrial Park near Lowe’s and Junaluska Animal Hospital. Registration fee is $15 per person, children under 10 are free. Sign-up for walkers who have not pre-registered will begin at 9 a.m. the day of.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
