The society said the money they get from the annual event is critical this year, as they’ve has an unusually busy spring following two large animal seizures.
Hundreds of Calgarians and their furry friends are expected at South Glenmore Park on Saturday to participate in the 16th annual Dog Jog, featuring
a 2.5km walk and 5km walk or run.
Calgarians are asked to register and fundraise for the event or to make a donation to the Calgary Humane Society.
