The Georgia Heartland Humane

Society and the Fayette Humane Society will host events Saturday to help

the animals.

The "Doggie Dash,"

hosted by the Georgia Heartland Humane Society, is a 5K walk for dogs

and their owners. The walk starts at Shakerag Knoll, by the Frederick

Brown Jr. Amphitheater, at 9 a.m. with registration starting at 8 a.m.

There is no cost to walk in the "Doggie Dash" but entrants that

raise $35 or more will receive an "I saved a life" t-shirt.

Entrants who choose to walk

with their dogs must bring proof of rabies vaccination (tag or certificate)

and dogs must be leashed at all times. Organizers also ask that no aggressive

dogs or dogs in season are brought to the walk. Registration forms are

available at the Coweta Animal Hospital, Dogwood Animal Hospital, Crossroads

Animal Hospital or Beard in Company in Peachtree City. Forms are also

available a www.gaheartland.com. Money raised will help provide food,

shelter and medical care for homeless or abused animals.

The Fayette Humane Society

will offer pet portraits from 10 a.m.-6p.m. at the Braelinn Village Animal

Hospital. There is a $10 sitting fee which will be donated to the Fayette

Humane Society by the photographer. There will be many backdrops and packages

to choose from and multiple pets may be in the photograph as space permits.
