Hundreds of walkers and their dogs will take a leisurely 1.5-mile stroll along Long Island Sound as they parade around the perimeter of Glen Island Park. Dog lovers are invited to register for the annual walk and get pledges of support from family and friends. You can also just show up to walk and pay the $25 registration fee ($40 for a family). The event is a fundraiser for the New Rochelle Humane Society and Pet Rescue of Larchmont, with some of the proceeds going to the Mount Vernon Animal Shelter.

The walk will be kicked off by special guest Scott Shannon, the morning personality at WCBS-FM 101.1 radio.

Activities will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with the Dog Walk starting at 11:30 a.m. After the procession, everyone is invited to stick around for a fun afternoon at the park. Browse the wares of numerous vendors (with lots of dog-related merchandise), listen to music and enjoy refreshments such as pizza, burgers, vegan, vegetarian and home-baked treats. Get a take-home photo of you and your dog posing at the water’s edge, get a balloon shaped like a dog, watch an agility demonstration, and stop by the “kiddie korner” for some face painting or a game of musical chairs. You can also run your dog through an agility course with a professional trainer.

Both dogs and cats will be available for adoption. To register or for more information, visit www.houndsonthesound.org.
