Rescue groups and other non-profit groups are invited to reserve space at Paws in the Park. The picnic
grounds are spacious so there's plenty of room for everyone, and space is always free for non-profit and
rescue groups!
Last year's 4th Annual Paws in the Park was a great success; we had many walkers and a great day was had
by all, while raising funds for our homeless pets. This year, we hope to do the same and have been
working hard to get the word out there. Paws in the Park is being promoted in many of the local
newspapers. We are being sponsored by major radio stations and it will be posted in all the newspapers
and internet advertising. We have also submitted public service announcements to all the TV stations
and their Web sites.

"Paws in the Park is the first event that Underdog ResQ attended shortly
after becoming non-profit. We met some great people, had some fun, did some networking and
raised a few hundred dollars. It's free exposure for us non-profits thanks to Save a Dog!"
