This is the tenth year of Wagapalooza!
Thanks to Jeff and Jen Donnelly of Jolly Dog and Moe Chabuz and the late Doug Sica of Skinny Legs, Wagapalooza has become the major fundraising event for the Animal Care Center. Wagapalooza had always been held at Skinny's in Coral Bay, but it finally outgrew that venue. This year marks the fifth time in Cruz Bay and this year will be even bigger and better. Wagapalooza organizers had some new ideas to combine with the good old standards. With Waga in the evening we attract more families and more dogs (it is cooler!!!!). There is great food and drink all evening. |

Volunteers solicited ads for the much coveted Waga t-shirt, on sale at the event. You can also get a t-shirt on-line or at Marketplace on Adoption Clinic Days. Volunteers the day of are numerous, and the event could not succeed without them. Plan to help us this year, call the ACC to volunteer. |
| In order to keep things running smoothly, we have several days of pre-registration for the dog events. Every Thursday in April and May we hold pre-registration at the Marketplace from 10 AM to 2 PM. The ACC adoption clinic is held every Thursday, so we incorporate pre-registration with that event. |  2008 |

All monies donated for this event will go to the Animal Care Center. This is the big money-raiser to keep the ACC going. |
Wagapalooza 2009 Raised $25,000 for the ACC Fifty four legged registrants strutted their stuff into the hearts of the enthusiastic crowd last year. With almost twice as many non-competing dogs on hand to wag on their four legged friends, the day was filled with lots of nose sniffing, tail wagging and great fun by both the dogs as well as their human pets.
