Acadiana Humane Society volunteers will be walking adoptable foster dogs in the Krewe des Chiens Dog Parade on Saturday, February 26, 2011 at 2PM. The new route is the same route that the Children’s Parade follows. We will line up in front of the Public Library on Lafayette Street, travel in front of the courthouse, turn left on Vermilion to Park San Souci, which is where the parade ends. Registration and parade line up will be in front of the courthouse at the beginning of the parade route. GET MAP HERE.
We are still in need of several volunteers to help with carrying our banner, pulling a wagon of beads, and walking adoptable dogs! Please contact Sue Rabeaux ASAP through a Facebook Message if you can help! Or, if you know her cell phone number you can call or text her directly. With all the last minute parade preparations and vet appointments there are no available volunteers to man the office phone.
