Doggone walk-a-thon a success
The first annual Doggone Walk-a-thon took place Saturday November 15 in support of Helping Out Pets Everyday and the Upland Animal Services Shelter.
Pet lovers and their pets walked from Sierra Vista Park to 19th Street and Euclid Avenue raising money for the charity and the shelter.
Margaret Coffman, president of Helping Out Pets Everyday, said the event went really well for a first time fundraiser.
"It went splendidly well I think," she said. "We had a lot of enthusiastic walkers and lots of happy dogs and excited dogs. They all did well on the walk."
Helping Out Pets Everyday is an Upland-based non-profit that helps rescue animals in the Upland Animal Shelter. The money raised in the walk-a-thon will go to providing animals shelter and pay for their medical expenses until they are adopted by a family.
