Guide Dogs Walk For A Good Cause In Morristown October 2

Morris County's finest service animals will be out for a walk in early October and everyone is invited to join their cause.

The Seeing Eye organization, a philanthropic group with a mission to help blind people achieve independence and self-confidence through guide dogs, will be hosting their Doggy Dash, a dog walk fundraiser and pageant, on Sunday, October 2. The Dash is a day of fun for families and pets, including face painters, caricature artists, and airbrushed tattoos for registered attendees. Dogs in costumes will have the opportunity to win prizes, and best of all, attendees can meet and greet puppies that are training for important careers as guides.

Seeing Eye breeds and raises puppies to become guide dogs for the blind and visually impaired. The organization also instructs blind people in the proper use, handling, and care of Seeing Eye dogs.

The Doggy Dash will take place on Sunday, October 2 at 11 AM at Lidgerwood Park in Morristown. Cost for Adults (13+ years) is $30 online/ $35 event day. Children (5-12 years) will be $20 online/ $25 event day. And children under 5 years of age and well-behaved dogs are free. Pre-registration for the event will close on September 26.
