Bark in the Park: A Walk for Animals and Country Fair

Register as a team, an individual or join an existing team and participate in the largest dog walk and festival in the midwest!   Highlights include performances by the Purina Incredible Dog Team, a silent auction, the Family Fun Activity Center and pet contests. Proceeds from this event go to the Humane Society of Missouri's Animal Cruelty Fund which is dedicated to the prevention of animal abuse.

It's not mandatory to bring a dog. You can just walk to support the cause. Dogs of all kinds are welcome and they do not have to register. Pet owners are requested to bring no more than 2 dogs per person and be sure that all of your dog's vaccinations are up-to-date. No retractable leaches, please!

The minimum requested donation is $25 for adults and $5 for youth ages 4-15. Free for children ages 3 and younger. Dogs are free too. This includes an official Bark in the Park t-shirt.
