"Boardwalkin’ for Pets is our biggest fundraiser of the year," says Boardwalkin' for Pets Chair, Heather Bahrami.  "It’s such a feel-good, family friendly event that brings animal lovers from near and far together to raise funds for the many cats and dogs who find their way to our no kill shelter."

This event is rain or shine! Should you choose not to walk due to inclement weather, please mail your pledge sheet and donations to Worcester County Humane Society, P.O. Box 48, Berlin, Md 21811. Checks should be made payable to Worcester County Humane Society.

The Worcester County Humane Society located on 12330 Eagles Nest Road, Berlin, is a private, nonprofit, no-kill animal shelter and operates mainly on donations.  Boardwalkin' for Pets is the shelter's largest fundraiser held every year.  All money raised is used to care for the many dogs and cats that call the shelter home.  In addition to providing everyday care, the animals also receive veterinary care which can be quite expensive.  The animals receive loving care until they are adopted into suitable homes.
