nter will present adoptable dogs, silent auctions and a chance to win a $1,000 Visa gift card at the 18th Annual Wag n’ Walk on Saturday, Sept. 28 at the Seal Beach Pier.
The fun begins at 9 a.m. and wraps up at 2 p.m. Grand Marshal Justin Rudd of Long Beach and his bulldogs, Riley and POTUS, will lead registered participants (with or without their four-legged friends) on a 1-mile walk from the Seal Beach Pier through downtown Seal Beach.
Following the walk around town, SBACC will present adoptable dogs, contests, silent auctions and opportunity drawings—including an opportunity drawing for a $1,000 Visa gift card.
As in year’s past, this event promotes SBACC’s primary goals: to find forever homes for the lost, abandoned and otherwise unwanted animals that currently reside at the SBACC, and to provide education and public awareness about pet safety and responsibility.
