See Spot Walk, of course! 2 See Spot Walk will be held at the Julia Davis Park Bandshell on October 3rd, 2015, to benefit the Idaho Humane Society, Idaho s largest and oldest animal welfare organization and veterinary medical charity. See Spot Walk encourages dog lovers of Idaho to celebrate the outdoors with a stroll (or trot!) through the park with their dogs. The festival atmosphere provides lots of fun opportunities to enter canine contests, work the agility course, visit our vendor booths, see live entertainment and adoptable pets. A complete list of the festival activities can be found on our website, beginning in July, at The Opportunity As a sponsor of See Spot Walk, your company will reach thousands of pet owners throughout the Treasure Valley, promoting your brand s connection with your target market. See Spot Walk will provide a unique opportunity to: Connect with your customers/clients/fellow pet-lovers in a way that is meaningful to them. Promote sales of new products or services to your specific audience. Establish your company s position as an animal advocate in a market said to have more dogs per household than any other metropolitan area of its size. Advertise your company s and services through various media. Build happiness, camaraderie and loyalty among your employees. Meet or exceed your company s social responsibility goals.

These funds also assist us with our community spay and neuter services, humane education programs and humane animal care and control.
