Pets are invited to strut their stuff in West Hartford Center in an event that is intended to be fun for families and also serve as a fundraiser for Pets for Vets – an organization which connects military veterans with rescued animals.

Registration will open at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 1, in the Webster Bank parking lot at 65 LaSalle Road. Pets and people will be able to register through 9:30 a.m., and after that will walk the parade route from the intersection of Arapahoe and LaSalle to Farmington Avenue. The parade is scheduled to end at 10 a.m.

In addition to the parade, Sunday’s event will include face painting and a bubble station for kids to enjoy. The Yard Goats mascots, Chompers and Chew Chew, have been invited to act as honorary co-grand marshals of the parade.

Professional pet photographer Sonja Zinke will be on hand to take “red carpet” photos as pets arrive.

West Hartford Animal Control will also attend the event, and share information with the public, and will showcase animals available for adoption.

Participants are asked to make a donation to Pets for Vets either in advance or at the time of registration. The suggested donation is $10 per pet. Click here to register.
