Be An American Idol and Walk this Way with PFA on May 1

By People for Animals
Want to be an American Canine Idol?- Bring your dog along, and join us on
Sunday, May 1st from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at Nomahegan Park in Cranford as we Walk for Paws (Rain Date May 15th) to support  People for Animals low cost spay neuter clinic.
“We may not have Jennifer Lopez or Steven Tyler, but our clinic surgeons are rock stars, says Fundraising Coordinator, Rose Tropeano-Digilio.  Your support allows us to perform over 15,000 low cost surgeries per year and that’s something to sing about.
Participants may start the Walk any time between 10 am and 1 pm. The Walk is approximately 2 miles in length. Refreshments will be served. You may attend with or without a dog. Each dog that attends will receive a doggie bag filled with goodies.
Contests for the dogs will be held at 11 am and 1 pm. The contest categories are:
Best Trick, Best Kisser, Fastest Tail Wagger, Highest Jumper, Shortest Dog, and Tallest Dog.  Dogs may enter all contests, but may win only one.  To participate in a contest, a dog must be registered for the Walk.
Every participant who turns in $100.00 or more in sponsor donations on the day of the event will receive a free People for Animals T-shirt. 
The top four participants who turn in the most money on the day of the event will receive a $25.00 PetSmart gift card.
In conjunction with the Walk, PFA will also be hosting American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen (CGC) evaluation tests for a donation of $20.00 per dog.
Anyone wishing to participate in a CGC evaluation must pre-register by visiting http://www.pfaonline.org/2011/walk-for-paws/ and completing the Walk for Paws CGC Release Form.
All dogs who pass the 10 step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club for an additional fee payable to AKC. For more information on testing criteria visit www.AKC.org.
