Listeners of The John DeBella Show, and another familiar DJ on 102.9 MGK came out with their dogs for John's favorite event of the year. This year even included a costume contest to give pet owners the chance to dress their dogs up. People from all over the DeBellaware Valley came with their pups to support the fun event.
There were tons of stands, demonstrations, activities, and yummy choices for food at the event. The weather also played nicely, so it was a great day all around. The sun was shining and the tails were wagging!
The DeBella Dog Walk's main goal is to raise awareness for all of the hard work the shelters in our area put in to make sure pups get good homes. It was great to see people going home having adopted a dog at this event from one of the rescues that came. We'd especially like to thank all of you who came out because you helped us support the shelters and rescues around the DeBellaware Valley.
Overall, the DeBella Dog Walk was a huge success. You, the listeners, mean the world to us.
