We are looking forward to welcoming you and your SuperPooch to the Every Step Counts Autism Walk & 5K Run on October 4th. The day promises to be super fun for everyone in the autism community.
We anticipate a record turnout, with potentially more than 1,000 people in attendance. Because of the invitation to participate in the SuperPooch Parade, we expect many more dogs to join us this year. This could create feelings of unease in both 4-legged and 2-legged participants. You know your dog best. If your dog is unlikely to be on his or her best behavior in large crowds, noisy environments or around other dogs, we ask that you reconsider bringing him or her along.
We are mindful that not everyone is comfortable around dogs, particularly members of the autism community. We're putting the following guidelines in place to help ensure that everyone has a positive experience without feeling anxious or scared.
