AA County Walk for the Animals

Here we go again!

This Sunday, May 2, is the Anne Arundel County SPCA 19th annual Walk for the Animals. It will be held at beautiful Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis. The event is from 8AM to noon, rain or shine. Ferrets are welcome, along with other types of furry kids. There is also a leash free dog park located within the park. You can choose a 1 mile, 2.5 mile, or 5 mile course if you decide to walk. But you can also just come and stop by all of the vendor booths. The Anne Arundel County Police’s K9 Unit puts on a fun demonstration from 10 to 11.

The Ferret Inn will be there at one of the booths with adoptable ferrets. We will also be selling bedding, stickers, magnets, and t-shirts. We hope to see you there.

You can visit www.aacspca.org for more information about the Walk for the Animals, including directions to Quiet Waters Park.

March for the Animals a Success

We attended the Maryland SPCA March for the Animals at Druid Hill Park in Baltimore this past Sunday. It was probably the biggest event we have been at to date, with thousands of people attending - along with a variety of four legged critters. Thanks go out to The MD SPCA for letting us be a part of their 15th annual March for the Animals.

A BIG “Thank You” goes out to Nancy and Tom Wilson, Jessica Welsh, and Tiffany Dunnigan for making our first SPCA event a success!

We were able to catch up with some old friends, make some new friends (animals and people alike - including ferret owners, ferrets, and even a goat named Dandelion), raise some funds for the shelter, and get our name out there. The ferrets did great and are probably still sleeping off all the excitement.

We missed everyone who wasn’t able to make it this year. It was quite an experience!

Hopefully you will be able to make it out to our next event with the Anne Arundel County SPCA Walk for the Animals on May 2 at Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis. (More information to follow)

Thank you once again to all who contributed to this most recent success!

March for the Animals

The 2010 March for the Animals will be held on Sunday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Druid Hill Park. Join us for this fun-packed day of demonstrations, great contests, entertainment and the 1.5-mile walk to benefit the Maryland SPCA.

The Ferret Inn will be there manning one of the vendor booths. The weather is supposed to be beautiful. What other excuse do you need?

Stop by our booth to purchase some new bedding for your fuzzy friends, buy some fun stuff for you, or just say hi! We hope to see you there!
