Third Annual Tail Waggers Strut June 3rd at Washington Xing State Park

May 14, 2012 By

The Crossings Animal Sanctuary, Inc., a nonprofit animal welfare organization, will host the Third Annual Tail Waggers Strut Dog Walk Festival at Washington Crossing State Park on Sunday, June 3rd, from 9:00am to 4:00pm (rain date June 10th). Proceeds will be used to acquire land, build, and operate Bucks County’s first no-kill animal sanctuary.

In the event’s first two years, nearly 1500 animal lovers in Bucks County and the surrounding area walked in the “Strut” and attended the festival. As a result of the community’s efforts, over $50,000 was placed in the Sanctuary Building Fund. This year, the goal is to have over 1,000 individuals, families and children walking their dogs, and to raise $100,000 in net proceeds. 

After two years at Shady Brook Farm in Newtown, the event moves to a much larger space at Washington Crossing State Park. Here, where the turning point of the American Revolutionary War took place, the goal is to create a new revolution: a Bucks County in which there are No More Homeless Pets, where 90% or more of the homeless companion animals are ensured a loving home and quality care for the rest of their lives.

The event’s festival field will feature over 100 vendors, offering pet products and services, crafts and food. Special events will occur throughout the day.

A “SuperAdoption” will feature adoptable companion animals from 20 or more area shelters and rescue organizations. In addition to dogs and cats, bunnies and pigs will be available for adoption.

The walk, which is for ages 13 and up, is four miles along the beautiful Delaware Canal. There is a also special two-mile walk for children ages 5-12, called “Kids Can, Too!” Prizes will be given to the walkers who raise the most pledge money. Pre-registration for walkers is strongly encouraged, and has already begun.

A downloadable form is available online at TheCrossingsAnimalSanctuary.org.

A month prior to Tail Waggers Strut, on Wednesday, May 2nd, Bucks County area restaurants will host “Appetite for Saving Animals,” a dinner hour fundraiser. Participating restaurants donate a portion of their evening’s revenue to CAS’ Sanctuary Building Fund and will be posted on the website.
