Plus, Redlands community pet store Paws will host professional pet photograph sessions Sunday, March 22, noon to 5 p.m.

RHSPAC's annual fundraiser event will include the Walk around Lake Evans led by Grand Marshal Cindy Davis of KOLA 99.9 FM, pet boutique, contests, pet adoptions, vaccinations, and more. First prize for collecting the most pledge money is a Saturday night stay for two at the historic Mission Inn, with Sunday brunch.

Scooble.com, the online resource for finding the best pet food and services, will be on hand at both events to offer free goody bags to attendees as well as inform them of services in the area. “It’s always great to attend Inland Empire events because this is Scooble’s community!” said Scooble.com’s Rob Chell. “Plus, RHSPAC and Paws are both a pleasure to work with.”
