Fun for furry friends at PAWS festival

The Lynnwood-based Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) launched its annual PAWSwalk fundraiser with a vibrant community festival at Edmonds’ Civic Park. Over 50 vendors participated, offering various products and services for pet owners, while raffles and flyball demonstrations entertained attendees. Flyball, a competitive team sport for dogs, involves racing over hurdles to retrieve tennis balls, showcasing the dogs' agility and speed. The PAWSwalk is a virtual walkathon that runs until June 28, inviting participants to engage in fundraising efforts for animal welfare. This initiative not only raises funds but also fosters community awareness about the importance of caring for animals.

The event attracted numerous local dog enthusiasts, reinforcing the strong bond between residents and their pets. PAWS aims to make a positive impact in the Lynnwood area, and events like this highlight their commitment to animal welfare.
