Greetings!

My name is Lisa Hare and I'm the Executive Director for Pets Helping People (PHP).
I'll be your contact before the event and onsite.

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 for your help at Petfest. All of 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 9am-1pm. The second shift is 1pm-5pm. Please plan to come 15 minutes early to allow time to get acclimated and for smooth transitions.
This year we will have Petfest staff managing the technology..
Volunteers will only be assisting with helping dogs get on and off leash and managing the line for the attraction. Easy peasy!
