O
n April 27, hundreds of animal lovers filled the streets of historic downtown Pensacola for Paws On
Palafox. The event was a family friendly 3K dog walk to support the Barbara Grice Memorial Low Cost
Spay and Neuter Clinic at the Pensacola Humane Society. This event is the most dog-friendly event in
the community, hosted with our furry friends in mind. Each registered walker received a bandana for
their pet. Water and cooling stations were available throughout for pets and their owners. Plaza De Luna held the
finish line, and a one of a kind celebration, which featured food and merchandise vendors, music, and an awards
presentation for the top fundraisers.
After the event, attendees were invited to enjoy a cold beverage at the After Paw-ty held at World of Beer. Tito’s
Handmade Vodka provided swag bags, and discount specials, as well as donating one dollar from every purchase back
to the Pensacola Humane Society.
The Barbara Grice Memorial Low Cost Spay and Neuter Clinic is committed to offering the lowest cost spay and
neuter services in the greater Pensacola area. Anyone may use these services, regardless of income or residency. Our
goal is to make sure as many pets as possible are spayed and neutered in order to reduce the overwhelming number of
dogs and cats entering area shelters. Since it’s opening in 2015, the clinic has performed over 25,000 surgeries.
