Bark in the Park 2020 is going virtual!

In light of the current COVID 19 situation, we’ve opted to create an online virtual event to host our 24^th annual Bark in the Park, to ensure the safety and well-being of participants.  But don’t think for a moment that it won’t be as fun as always!  The virtual event will feature online versions of these all-time Bark favorites!

 

                   Cash Raffle - Mutt Show - Bark t-shirts  - Virtual Vendors  - The Bark Walk!

 

Although we would much rather be with you in person, a virtual walk enables participation from anywhere, by anyone, and by any species!  On October 4, we will walk together, socially distanced, in our neighborhoods in support of Peoria Humane Society and our lifesaving mission and programs.

 

Your participation this year is crucial to help raise funds that are needed now more than ever!

Join us for this special Bark in the Park and help make a difference in the lives of countless animals in our community.

The Peoria Humane Society is working to keep pets in their homes despite the challenges our community is experiencing with COVID-19 and the tough economic times. Support animals in need with your donation of dry and canned dog and cat food - we don't want pets to go hungry. Your donation of food could save an animal's life.
Pet food can be dropped off at the entrance to the food court of Northwoods Mall, upper level, on May 20th and 27th from 11-4 pm. Monetary donations can also be made on our website at peoriahs.org. Pets and their owners are depending on your support! Join the PHS in making a difference for people and animals - together we will get through this.
