Grab your pets and friends for a bow-wow good time at the Peoria Sports Complex

Grab your pets and friends to help support the homeless animals at the Arizona Humane Society (AHS) during Pet-a-Palooza, featuring Stadium Stroll, a family and pet-friendly festival and walk on November 7. Bringing the together to great loves – music and pets- the day celebrates our love affair with our pets with a day in the park.

Proudly presented by CBS Radio, Pet-a-Palooza will feature live music, including headliner Fast Ryde whose single "That Thang" is rising quickly on the Nashville music charts. The event also will include dog agility demonstrations, animal/caricature artists, a meet and greet with AHS' Emergency Animal Medical Technicians™ and a variety of other pet-friendly, family activities.

Stadium Stroll kicks off the day with a 1.5 mile "stroll" around the Peoria Sports Complex main stadium to raise money for the Arizona Humane Society. All along the course, participants will get a little pep in their step with music from local radio stations, KMLE Country 108, 94.5 KOOL FM and 101.5 JAMZ. Those raising the most funds will earn incentives, with the top earners gaining access to an exclusive VIP area during Pet-a-Palooza.

"This will be a fun way to support the animals in our shelter," said Guy Collison, executive director of the Arizona Humane Society. "Combining pets and music in a festival atmosphere just seems to fit well."
