Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Willie 103.5 and WRSW 107.3 hosted their 5K Klassic Dog Walk Saturday at the Winona Park Trails.
This annual event is held to benefit the Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County, according to a news release from the AWL.
“It is such a great event! Every year, the K9 Klassic continues to grow,” said Chris Cage from Willie 103.5. “It's so much fun seeing all of the dogs, some of which are even dressed up in costumes."
There were 46 registered dog participants and their humans. AWL also had adoptable dogs that also participated in the 5k with their human volunteers. Shelter dogs were there as part of the September Adoptions program. For the last 12 weeks the shelter has had over 400 pets in their care including those in foster homes.
“We have been overwhelmed,” said Executive Director Tonya Blanchard. “Most pets come in broken, confused and neglected. They are welcomed by a team that brings unconditional love and consistency.”
For the month of September, Snuggle up to reduced adoption fees at AWL: adult Ddogs are $75 (50% off), each additional adult dog is $50; and adult cats are $50, each additional adult cat is $25.
Kensington sponsored the ladies from WhimsyChicksLLC.com photo booth. Every dog participant and their humans got a free photo booth picture taken. The Kensington and AWL team pictures were also taken by the Whimsy Chicks.
The AWL thanks Chris Cage for hosting his weekly “Willies Wiggles” live Facebook video every Wednesday at AWL, stated the release.
