This year, the Humane Society expects to care for more than 40,000 animals in need. The nonprofit has been serving San Diego County since 1880 and has campuses in San Diego, Escondido, Oceanside, Ramona and El Cajon. A similar event, Walk for Animals — San Diego, is planned for May 6 at Liberty Station. Last year's event at Liberty Station drew 5,000 walkers and nearly 1,000 dogs, who strolled through NTC Park. The North County event’s festivities start at 7 a.m. Feb. 25 and include a pancake breakfast, warmup and stretch session, along with a 2-mile walk, doggie activities, live music and pet-friendly vendor booths.
