36th ANNUAL
WAG DAY
September 29, 2000
In
1964, the Women's Auxiliary of the Animal Rescue League of Western
Pennsylvania began its annual fundraising effort they called "Wag
Day." Wag Day was modeled after a Scottish custom of dog walkers
collecting funds for homeless pets. The Auxiliary members and their
friends and relatives have carried on the tradition and will continue
to do so into the year 2000 and beyond.
This annual fundraiser has volunteers
combing neighborhood streets with furry friends looking for donations.
Busy lunchtime crowds get a treat when they dash out to cash a paycheck
or to grab a quick bite to eat. It's a day full of smiles, stories,
memories, and a chance to make new friends (both two-legged and
four-legged). |

Donations
received during Wag Day go directly to shelter improvements. In
previous years, funds have been used for projects such as helping
to install a low-cost veterinary clinic for the area's homeless
animals.
