Banfield Charitable Trust Events
Bark For Your Heart 2012
Bark For Your Heart is a run/walk event to raise money to help pets in need in communities across the country. The event was started in Sacramento, California in 2011 by Dr. Debora Pettit, a Banfield Pet Hospital veterinarian and Banfield Charitable Trust volunteer. Inspired by Dr. Pettit’s vision and work, Bark For Your Heart events are springing up in other communities, helping to offset costs of life-threatening veterinary care for struggling pet owners.
We invite you and your family and friends to register for an event in your community. All friendly, leashed dogs are welcome to walk or run with you!
