Doggie Dash is Oct. 22

Join Georgia Heartland for a full-filled 3K walk to benefit homeless animals.

The walk will be Saturday, Oct. 22, along the shady cart paths of Peachtree City (Shakerag Knoll Park, 191 McIntosh Trail).

Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the dash begins at 10:30. Cost is $15 to walk and $30 to walk plus a t-shirt.

Visit the vendors, enjoy music and food, have your pooch create an original Pupcaiso (a no-mess paw painting), or enter the Doggie Costume Contest with cash prizes: $100 for first place, $75 for second place and $50 for third place.

Georgia Heartland is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization from which 100 percent of all proceeds go directly to helping animals in the community.
