The Cesar Millan Foundation
The Cesar Millan Foundation is dedicated to promoting animal welfare by supporting the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of abused and abandoned dogs and by delivering community humane education programs, including the Mutt-i-grees Curriculum.“The Pack Walk is a movement towards reconnecting ourselves with our dogs and our community. By stepping up as a pack leader, it’s more than just walking a dog,” said Millan. “We need to be walking in one direction, toward a common outcome, helping one another. I want this to be a symbolic event for the community as a goal towards building healthy relationships with their dogs and each other.” For more information, follow Cesar Millan on Facebook.
Pack Walk and Events Conclude at National Mall, Washington, D.C.
The national movement will conclude in Washington, D.C. with a 1.5 mile Pack Walk around the National Mall, led by Cesar Millan and Scooby-Doo, followed by an afternoon of Scooby-themed activities from numerous Warner Bros. partners, licensees and charitable sponsors. A fun, interactive environment for families and dog enthusiasts, the national event as well as all local events will be open to the public.“We are very excited to bring Scooby and Cesar together again as we expand our partnership to offer fans and dog-lovers around the country an even bigger and better event with our second annual National Family Pack Walk movement,” said Brad Globe, president, Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “Scooby-Doo is a beloved icon for fans and families everywhere, and Cesar’s dedication to creating a balanced and enhanced relationship between owners and their dogs makes for a natural collaboration on these exciting and entertaining events that raise awareness and money for a great cause nationwide.”
