Second Annual No Animal Left Behind Walk-a-thon
The Susquehanna County Animal Response Team (CART) will be hosting their second annual “No Animal Left Behind” Walk-a-thon on Saturday, June 19, 2010 from 9:00am to 1:00pm. The check-in and registration location will be in Dean’s parking lot on Rt. 706 in Montrose, Pa. The walk-a-thon will take place on the Northeast Rail-Trail System operated by the Rail Trail Council of Northeastern Pennsylvania. The walk will begin behind the Pump ‘n Pantry located across the street from Dean’s parking lot and will end at the Claverack building before returning to the Pump and Pantry in Montrose.
Applications for the walk may be obtained at the Lucky Dog Pet Spa located at 11 South Main Street in Montrose or by downloading the Walk-a-thon Form Packet here. If sending a pledge in check form, the check may be made out to PASART and Susquehanna CART must be noted in the memo section of the check. Completed paperwork may then be mailed to CART Walk-a-thon, RR6 Box 6176C, Montrose, Pa. 18801 or dropped off in person to the Lucky Dog Pet Spa. The deadline for applications is Friday, June 11, 2010. Additional questions may be answered at (570) 278-6396.
A flea market and bake sale will also be on site at the Dean parking lot beginning at 8:00am and ending at 1:00pm. Vender fees will be $10.00 for each table and venders must supply their own table. Interested parties may contact 278-6396 for further information. All proceeds will benefit CART.
Last year at the walk-a-thon, Susquehanna CART supplied United, Thompson and Forest Lake Fire Companies with “pet oxygen” masks in three different sizes for pet first aid. This year, CART intends to supply two additional fire companies with these masks prior to the walk-a-thon.
The County Animal Response Team is similar to the Red Cross in regards that pets and farm animals are the focus when an emergency or disaster occurs. In fact the Red Cross and CART have partnered to supply sheltering for both humans and animals during a disaster.
Anyone interested in joining CART may contact the Penn State Extension Office at 278-1158 for the next scheduled meeting date.
