EGAPL’s biggest fundraiser of the year is a fun-filled day for any animal lover! Walkers are encouraged to bring their dogs, walk the beautiful trails together, and gather samples of pet-related treats and information offered by participating dog food and pet product companies. Walkers also will enjoy music, raffles, and a free lunch!

Anyone who raises $50 receives a collectable 2011 Hound Hike T-Shirt. The first 150 registrants receive a bag of goodies for owner and pet. All money raised goes towards the shelter, food and medical care
of area homeless animals.
