First and foremost....THANK YOU very much for offering to help us with the Doggie Dash time trials, presented by Schlossmann Subaru City of Milwaukee. We are so excited about this opportunity for our small, but mighty pet therapy organization. You may know us from our pet (dog) therapy visits on campus. We're so grateful you are helping us at Petfest. All the proceeds from the activity will be donated to PHP

We will have two shifts of volunteers to help run the activity...1st shift is 9:30-am-2pm with 1/2 hour for training at the beginning. The second shift is 1:30pm-6pm with 1/2 hour for training at the beginning.
Please note assignments will be given on site, but include logging in the times in a spreadsheet, releasing the dogs at the beginning of each run, helping with the people in line, a person to record the dog's time at the end of the run and someone to start the timing equipment.

The Doggie Dash is located on the south end of the Summerfest ground.
