How often do you travel with your furry friends? Bring them on your next weekend getaway to Lancaster, PA, and support the Humane League. This organization works diligently to shelter, feed and care for thousands of animals every year, and they rely on the Animal Rescue Fund to cover expenses. You can help support the organization when you attend the 24th Annual Tailwagger’s Trot in Lancaster PA.

What is the Tailwagger’s Trot?

Held on Sunday, September 22nd, the Tailwagger’s Trot begins and ends in Lancaster, PA’s Buchanan Park located at 905 Buchanan Avenue. Registration starts at 10 AM and ends at 11 AM with the mile walk beginning at 11:15 AM.

Contests, shopping, vendors and food await participants of the two-legged and four-legged varieties. Listen to live music and munch on delicious barbecue, french fries, funnel cake and local Pennsylvania Dutch delicacies as you learn more about pet rescue. These and more festivities are free for trotters and cost $5 for non-walkers.

Sign Up for the Tailwagger’s Trot

Individuals, families, friends and coworkers are welcome to trot. If you have a group of five or more walkers, register as a Pack and raise at least $300. Each participant’s pledges count toward the total. You just need one person to serve as the Pack Captain. That person tracks Pack membership and collects all the money. Register at packmasterwags@humaneleague.com by September 10 to have your Pack name listed on the Trots’ personalized t-shirts. Visit the Humane League website for more information and to sign up.

Individuals who wish to register agree to raise donations of $30 per adult or $20 per child ages 6 to 17. Kids under age 5 trot for free and don’t receive a t-shirt. Early registration cuts $5 off the donation requirement. Of course, raising additional funds is appreciated, and Top Trotters are eligible to receive prizes.

Every Person Can Assist with the Trot

Last year, the Trot raised $81,000, and you can be part of the festivities and fun this year while supporting a good cause. To help out with this year’s Tailwagger’s Trot, sign up to walk. Registration is open until the day of the event, and you, along with all your donors, will be supporting a good cause. Plus, bring your pet. Dogs, cats, ferrets and even goats are welcome to join in the fun.

Alternatively, sponsor the event for $50 to $3,000 by emailing jhess@humaneleague.com. You can also sign up to be a vendor and share your pet-related product or other service as you enjoy your stay in Lancaster, PA.
