Fred Smilek & Society to Save Endangered Species present the first ever “Let Your Dog Run Wild"

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 07, 2009 -
The Society to Save Endangered Species will be hosting a one kilometer dog walk to raise awareness and support for Zimbabwe Wild Dogs-A Conservation for Wild Dogs sponsored by WildlifeDirect.  “I was reading through a blog that the Wild Dog Conservation’s staff was writing which told of Wild African dogs that were being killed by negligent poachers and sometimes farmers,” commented Fred Smilek, founder of The Society to Save Endangered Species.  “It was terrible to hear that the potential cousins of America’s favorite companion are suffering and in some cases, being killed!  Upon reading this I wanted to help this conservation and I had a feeling that many proud dog owners would want to do the same.”

     Compelled to action, Smilek has begun planning the “Let Your Dog Run Wild!” one kilometer dog walk.  Registered participants of this event will accompany their canine companions through Alton Baker Park, which on that day will be filled with African culture, support information, and great giveaways for man’s best friend.  There is no affirmative information yet on the cost of registration, but the return on investment will be indeed high, as the event is continuously receiving sponsorship packages from local groomers, pet stores, and many other organizations that want to protect endangered species and reward your canine for coming out and supporting a great cause.  All registration fees and donations will be matched by The Society to Save Endangered Species and given to the conservation staff to help fund their efforts.

     More information on this event and how you can get involved with the Conservation of Endangered Wild Dogs will be posted as it becomes available at www.fredjsmilek.com
