The Dedicated Animal Welfare Group (DAWG) is
committed to providing medical care and comfort to sick
and injured animals that come into the Mission Viejo
Animal Services Center. Each year, through fundraising
events like the Annual DAWG Walk, they provide
hundreds of animals with a second chance to find loving
homes.
The 14th Annual DAWG Walk begins on June
28 with registration at 7:00 am on the fields at
the Thomas R. Potocki Conference Center, located
at 23701 La Paz Road in Mission Viejo. The Walk
starts at 8:30 am along the Oso Creek Trail. You may
register in advance at www.dawg.org, or mail in your
registration form by Wednesday, June 25. Event brochures
including mail-in registration forms are available online
as well at the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center,
28095 Hillcrest.
All walkers receive a DAWG Walk T-shirt and
for every $10 collected in pledge dollars, walkers receive
an entry into the raffle prize giveaway with over 20
prize packages. The dog walker who collects the most
individual pledge dollars wins the $500 Grand Prize.
The Pet Faire & Adoption Event is open from 8:00
am until noon on the World Cup fields at the beautiful
Thomas R. Potocki Conference Center. The Pet Faire is
free and open to everyone and their dogs, of course!
Free parking is available at Newhart Middle School on
the corner of La Paz Road and Veterans Way. Free refreshments
are served and lots of water is available for the dogs.
Pet Faire features over 45 booths with a wide variety
of unique services and products for you and your pet.
You’ll also meet amazing wildlife creatures such
as giant lizards, snakes, birds of prey and opossums
to learn about them up close and personal!
Consider entering your pooch in the pet contests—The
Best K9 Kisser, the Owner/Bowzer Look-Alike Contest
or the Best K9 Trickster Contest and win fun prizes!
And for $10 per entry, you could win a raffle prize
valued at $40 or more. The Pet Faire also includes exciting
performances by the Disc Dogs and the Orange Crush Flyball
Club dogs that always amaze and entertain the crowds
with their athletic talent and showmanship.
“One of Mission
Viejo’s most popular
summer events benefits our local Animal
Services Center and is an opportunity to
add a new addition to your family.”
The Mission Viejo Animal Services Center as well as
many animal rescue groups will be there with dozens
of breeds, shapes, ages and sizes of pets that are available
for adoption. You just might find a new addition for
your family waiting for you at the Faire! For more details
