The Bradenton-Sarasota area hosts lots of great pet events each year but this week’s Paws in Motion for the Humane Society of Manatee flowed more like poetry in motion.
More than three hundred people and their pups turned out for the even, each dog more well behaved than the next.
The walk itself took place on the Bradenton Riverwalk. A cool, crisp morning
provided the ideal conditions with the Manatee River rocking serenely in the background. Just a one mile walk, most people finished in 20 minutes or so with ample time to sniff the fresh air.
Walkers enjoyed a free pass to the Doggie Fun Zone. A combination agility, lure course extravaganza.
It was great day for friends and families to spend some downtime with people they love.
Many thanks to the organizers and participants of this important event to help homeless pets. The Humane Society of Manatee offers low-cost spay and neuter services to area residents regardless of income. Spay and neuter is the first step in reducing our pet population.
