Doggie Parade

Everyone loves a parade, so put your doggies on parade. Gather sponsors who will donate for every mile walked or for completing the whole route. Set up your parade route in a nice scenic park or downtown area. See if you can close off the local streets to keep distraction down to a minimum. Or you could parade right down Main Street (with the street closed to traffic) and have your dogs decked out in costumes. Puppies and smaller dogs could be pulled in decorated wagon “floats.” Don’t forget to bring pooper scoopers and trash bags and put people on poop patrol. Set up refreshment stations along the way with water bowls and treats. Cups of water for the human companions are a good idea too. A great side fundraiser would be to set up a dog bakery with homemade treats for sale. You could even offer dog washing and nail trimming if you can find some local dog groomers to volunteer their services. People would be willing to give a $5-20 donation for this.
