About
Woofstock
Woofstock is a festival celebrating the canine-human
bond. A dog walk path designed around Verizon Wireless
Music Center will certainly give attendees, both 2 and
4-legged, their exercise for the week. Then, sniff and
mingle with new friends while listening to live music,
visiting exhibitor booths, enjoying great food, and
visiting with our featured canine and feline HSHC guests
at the Humane Society booth.
Our lovely event emcee and a Pet Star Competition
judge will be WRTV News Reporter Jennifer Carmack.
Pet Star 2009
Attendees may enter to win great prizes and
claim the title of Pet Star 2009. The competition takes
place on the side stage with celebrity judges deciding
who walks away with the crown.

Individual and Corporate Team Fundraising
Download the Woofstock Walk Packet
You can help raise desperately needed funds for the
animals by collecting pledges for the walk as an
individual walker OR by putting together a team. As a
team captain you will want to recruit and rally your
team to collect pledges.
Walk As An
Individual
Send e-mails to your friends and family asking for
pledges. Check your progress and follow-up on donations
made in your honor. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3
individual fundraisers.
Create a Corporate or Organized
Team
Do you, your co-workers or perhaps an organization you
belong to love animals? Want a great way to build
morale, foster team building, and raise visibility for
your company or organization- all while helping homeless
animals? Then rally your co-workers and friends to pool
your fundraising powers and compete for the top team
fundraising awards.
On the day of the walk, corporate team members can wear
their company or organization t-shirts. The top 3 teams
will be awarded trophies and awesome prizes!
Walk for a Specific Animal
We receive so many
animals each year who have been seriously injured,
abused or neglected or who are suffering from a serious
illness. Perhaps you would like to organize your walk
this year in one of their names to help us raise the
money needed to cover their medical and general care.
You may walk for any
animal you choose, but below is a list of animals we
would like to feature who would certainly benefit from
your fundraising efforts and increased awareness.
E-mailwoofstockwalk@hamiltonhumane.com
to register for the walk and to choose your "team" if
walking for a specific animal.

Team Donald &
Daisy: Donald and Daisy
have been waiting for homes longer than any
other dogs at the shelter. They arrived at the
shelter in February 2008, so it has been 14 long
months of hoping and waiting for a forever
home. When you walk for Team Donald & Daisy,
you walk to help us cover the cost of their
continued care and to raise awareness that these
two very special dogs desperately need a home.
Help us end their wait. |

Team Coconut:
Coconut arrived at the shelter with a broken
pelvis resulting from a hit by car injury. The
surgery to repair her injuries is $1,300. Please
help us raise the money for little Coconut by
walking on her behalf this year. |

Team Fozzie
Bear:
Fozzie has been waiting several months for
his forever home. Fozzie suffers from epilepsy
which we are treating him for. Although he gets
along well with other animals, he has been
overlooked time and time again. Help us cover
the cost of Fozzie's medcial and general
care...and help us spread the word that Fozzie
needs a home. |
|
 |
Team Deeno:
Deeno is 9 years old, and he has waited for a
real home for the majority of his life. He now
waits with us after spending several years at
another shelter. Deeno is set in his ways, not
a big fan of men but certainly loves the
ladies. But regardless of his particular nature
and the arthritis that plagues his hips, Deeno
deserves to find a forever home to live out his
years. Deeno deserves a chance. Walk for Team
Deeno this year and raise awareness that he too
needs a home. |
|
 |
Team Jethro: Jethro is
an 8 year old Fox Hound suffering from Heartworm
Disease. You can walk for Jethro this year to
help us raise the $300 needed to cover the cost
of the treatment required to save his life. |
|
 |
Team JoJo:
Just 1 year old, JoJo arrived with heartworm
disease--which is deadly if left untreated.
This sweet pit bull loves everyone...he loves
life. He lives to love his humans and we hope
that this year, you will walk for JoJo and help
us raise the $300 needed to cover the cost of
his heartworm treatment and help us find a
foster (and hopefully permanent) home where he
can begin his recovery. |
|
 |
Team Nala: Nala is such
a gentle soul. Kind and loving, but she is in
pain. She has a serious case of hip dysplasia
which will cost approximately $1,000 to treat.
She has her entire life ahead of her and is
destined to complete someone's family. You can
help us give her that wonderful life. Please
consider walking for Team Nala! |

Team Peyton:
We receive a lot of animals who suffer from
separation anxiety. Once they reach our
shelter, they've often been shuffled from home
to home never knowing the consistency and safety
that comes with a permanent home. Peyton is one
of those dogs. He probably has one of the worst
cases of separation anxiety we have ever seen.
And although this is treatable and workable, it
does take time, often months, to really get
under control. For this reason, we have been
unable to find the right home for Peyton. He
patiently waits for that person to come along
who has the time, patience and know-how to help
him heal. When you walk for Peyton this year,
you will walk to give him hope and encouragement
that we believe in him. We will not give up on
him. |

Team Sequoia:
Sequoia is breath-takingly gorgeous. A 3 year
old Husky/Lab mix with a heart as big as her bat
ears, we sit amazed that she has not yet found a
home. She does have a torn ACL for which we are
trying to raise $800 to have repaired. We do
need a foster home where she can recovery
peacefully outside the stress of a noisy
kennel. Walk for Sequoia and help us raise the
money for her surgery as well as foster (and
hopefully permanent) home where she can begin
her recovery. |

 |
Team Dino: Dino is a 6 year old Pit Bull
who was surrendered with his sister, Anjil,
almost a year ago when his owner decided to move
without them due to breed restrictions. Anjil
was fortunate to find her way into a loving
home, but Dino is still patiently waiting.
Walking for Dino means raising awareness that he
needs a home and he needs a chance to show off
his "sit", "down", "stay" and "speak" skills to
a new family.

Team Zola:
It's hard to believe with a face like this that
Zola will be celebrating (if you can call it
that) her 1 year anniversary with us. She
arrived in June of 2008 as a stray and has since
won all of our hearts. She plays well with the
other kitties in our community cat room but
isn't a big fan of little people poking or
trying to hold her. Help raise awareness that
Zola needs a home and would rather be
celebrating the arrival into her forever home
this June, not spending 1 year at the shelter. |
