Westside Dog Initiative @ the Women's Day March in SA

Westside Dog Initiative is proud to participate in San Antonio’s 22nd Annual International Woman’s Day March this Saturday March 3, 2012. As our first year in what we hope to be a long partnership with this important rally, we would like to extend an invite to all pet owners and community pet supporters to join our procession within the march. Westside Dog Initiative seeks volunteers to walk with our members and our current foster animals, creating greater awareness of the efforts set forth by our organization.

We hope that you will join us for this large community event, playing a crucial part in bringing awareness to important social issues that face everyone, including stray animals. If youre in the San Antonio are, feel free to bring your pets along for the procession in downtown San Antonio, help walk one of our foster animals, or proudly hold a banner on behalf of Westside Dog Initiative. If walking is not your thing, show your support by attending the rally at Milam Park and visiting the WDI table with your pet.
