Walk and Wag Against Abuse

The Gila County Domestic Violence Safe Home and the High Desert Humane Society have joined together to raise funds for the fight against abuse in Globe-Miami. The 1st Annual Walk and Wag Against Abuse takes place Saturday in downtown Globe.

The event will help show the link between domestic violence and animal abuse. Cruelty to animals is often an indicator and predictor of family and community violence. And an alarming number of women report that threats to their animal companions prevent them from leaving abusive relationships. Funds raised from this event will be used to help families and animals that are in abusive situations.

Registration begins at 2:30pm Saturday at the historic train depot. The Walk and Wag starts at 3:00. The fee is $10. Family and friends are encouraged to sponsor you and your pet for the walk.

Other activities include a K9 demonstration, a 50/50 drawing and refreshments.
