We were Walking and Tails were Wagging!

When everyone was done with their walk, Dan led us through some demonstrations. We watched Renee from Reining Cats and Dogs show us how a treadmill can be used to help with behavioral problems. Then we saw an amazing demonstration of skill and technique by Kelly from Circle Lazy K Stockdogs. His dog was able to herd ducks in an unfenced area and show us the talent that these herding dogs really have.
From there, we went into the contests which are always a sight to see! The raffle was quite popular as well. Congratulations to all the winners and we hope you had a great time! We’d also like to say a very special thank you to the 50+ volunteers that gave their time before and during the event as well as all of our sponsors! We couldn’t have done it without you!
While figures are only preliminary, it looks like the morning was not only fun but earned Northwest Animal Companions just over $4000! This will make an incredible difference for animals in our community. Thank you to everyone that attended and we’ll see you next year!
