GIG HARBOR PUTS ON THE DOG DURING THE 6TH ANNUAL HARBOR HOUNDS EVENT

Come on out and support Coalition: HUMAnE!

Every dog has his day in Gig Harbor, Washington, especially during the
annual "Harbor Hounds Walk the Town," a fun romp that celebrates
canines by the sea. This year's tail-wagging affair takes place on
Saturday, September 27, 2008.

Dogs and their devotees come from far and near to participate in
Harbor Hounds, a benefit for the Prison Pet Partnership Program,
Coalition: HUMAne (formerly Peninsula Spay/Neuter Project) and Gig
Harbor Mid-Day Rotary.

The action begins at 10 a.m. as hounds and humans stroll two miles of
picturesque Gig Harbor waterfront between Donkey Creek Park and Skansie
Brothers Park, stopping along the way for water, pats and chats. The
frisky festivities continue until 3 p.m. with a mix of entertainment,
contests, demonstrations, information, vendors, and food.

Pooch-loving participants can pick one of three ways to register for
Harbor Hounds. The $30 Top Dog fee, limited to the first 100
pre-registered dogs, includes a 2008 Harbor Hounds t-shirt and a
commemorative Harbor Hounds 2008 color poster. The $24 Standard rate
($26 on event day) comes with the t-shirt, dog bandana and goodie bag.
The $10 Hound registration ($12 on event day) provides the bandana and
goodie bag.
