Walk for the Animals Saturday in Rehoboth

Talk some water and a portable or not-so-portable dish if you're participating in Saturday's Walk for the Animals at the Beach.

The two-mile walk - a fundraiser for the Delaware Humane Association - begins with registration at 11 a.m. and the walk at noon at the north end of the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk. On-site sign-ups are welcome. Registration is $25.

For every $10,000 raised, the humane association's spay/neuter team gives a day of free spay/neuter surgeries. That's a win-win for animals and the people who love them.

Sandy Leigh from the humane association says about 200-300 people and their dogs are expected. "And it's going to be such a nice day," she added.

Nice - and warm. The forecast calls for sunshine and clouds mixed, with a high of 83 and southwesterly winds at 5-10 mph. That's especially hot for this time of year, so, if you're walking, you and your dog will need to keep hydrated. Pack a dish and get him or her a drink or two along the way.
