Pasadena Humane Society Wiggle Waggle Walk

Hundreds of dogs and their owners walked around Pasadena’s Rose Bowl Sunday morning during the 17th annual Wiggle Waggle Walk, helping raise $264,105.54 for the Pasadena Humane Society and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

Steve McNall, President and CEO of the PHS, said their goal for this year’s Walk was $400,000.

“Our budget is $8 million a year to keep the doors open so we can accept the old, the sick and the injured.”

The PHS and SPCA provide food, shelter and medical care to homeless animals, nearly 12,000 of which are taken in every year. McNall said PHS has just inaugurated their new Neely Cat Center, as well as a new spay and neuter hospital and additional kennels for the dogs and the cats.

Participants in the Walk help raise funds by collecting donations, as well as creating personal web pages through the Wiggle, Waggle and Walk website, www.wigglewaggle.org. Non-walkers and others unable to attend may help by creating fundraising web pages.

Karen Kiefaber was the Walk’s top individual fundraiser this year, raising almost $30,000. She was among the first to line up for Sunday’s Walk, receiving prizes from Rockin’ Paws and Planet Doggy, as well as a PHS Kennel Plaque.

Kiefaber heads the top fundraising team, Punk Rock Rovers, which, as of Monday, had raised over $50,000 for the organization.

“The Punk Rock Rovers have been our number one fundraising team for the last ten years or so,” says Ricky Whitman, PHS Vice President of Community Relations. “But the final totals won’t be known until at least the end of the week.”
