Siouxland Humane Society logo
Since Ann was busy with summer school during the Woof Walk, the girls were delighted to return to Sioux City to meet their dog park friends. We were invited to join the SOLA dog pack.  The girls jumped in the back seat of the Dogcar bright and early in the morning!








The ad says it all - walk for a great cause.








We arrived at the Anderson Dance Pavilion








By noon, a good crowd had arrived!









The vendors were ready for the crowds!








We took a spin for Gracie and for Prissy!
