Registration for an annual fundraising walk from the Atlanta Humane Society is open.
The Walk for the Animals is a pet-friendly 5K stroll around Atlantic Station on Oct. 15. The fundraiser benefits the 30,000 animals AHS supports each year, according to a press release.
Pets who walk with owners must be leashed, up-to-date on vaccinations and in control at all times during the event. The route is about three miles, but an alternate one-mile route will also be set up.
