Sign up for the Friends of the Plymouth Pound annual Walk for Animals at Morton Park Sept. 14. Every dollar raised at the walk is used to pay for veterinary care for homeless animals in FPP's foster care program and for maintaining its low-cost spaying and neutering program. Teams are welcome and sponsorships are available. Sign up at http://friendsplymouthpound.org/news-events/.
