Our A-DOG team had a wonderful day at the MSPCA Walk for Animals on Sunday, September 13 at the Boston Common. This event was such fun! More important, it did so much to help the MSPCA, with at least a thousand dogs and owners participating, and approximately $300,000 raised. Our A-DOG team joined forces with other teams from the new Massachusetts Coalition for Dog Owners Groups (MassDOG), especially the team from Somerville’s somldog. Our coalition of MassDOG teams is very proud to have raised a total of at least $4882 for the MSPCA! We congratulate the somldog team, who won the friendly challenge with 17 team members and $2752 in donations. Our A-DOG team made a strong showing, with 11 members and $1595 in donations. We thank everybody who walked with us or sponsored us today. Although the somldog team won the MassDOG challenge, they kindly shared their prize with us, delicious Taza chocolates made in Somerville. Besides this yummy treat, their team also won a gift certificate from Arlington’s own Lakota Bakery, which also happens to be a Business Friend of A-DOG.

Joan, It was really fun both years and I’m proud of how much our team, and all of MassDOG, raised. I want to have a team every year..the MSPCA-Angell is the best! Let’s make a pact to organize it earlier next year!
