Bark In The Park 2015 Comes To Hoboken

Liberty Humane Society, the only non-profit animal shelter in Hudson County, will host their 12th annual Bark in the Park fundraising event on Saturday, Oct. 10, from noon to 5 p.m. in Hoboken’s Stevens Park.

According to LHS – which serves the Hoboken area – the event is a crucial component in raising the funding required to care for the thousands of stray, abandoned, and surrendered dogs and cats that enter the shelter each year.

During the event – organized akin to a walkathon - participants stroll through Hoboken and ask supporters to pledge funds for their walk.

The walk will be followed by a fair in Stevens Park that features a pet fashion show, an “Ask the Trainer” session, a demonstration from the Jersey City Police K-9 Unit, a pet costume contest, dog agility training and demonstrations, food from Carlos Bakery and a guest appearance from Mauro Castano of “Cake Boss,” as well as various kid’s activities.

Businesses and participants interested in being a part of Bark in the Park 2015 can visit the LHS website here, or email Susie@libertyhumane.org.
