Woofstock: Walk for the Animals is Homeward Bound's premiere fundraising event. It consists of a leisurely 1 mile walk around Middlebury followed by music, refreshments, and the highlight: a doggie dip in the town pool! We bring together animal lovers from all over Addison County and beyond, raise important funds, and have a lot of fun! Every dollar raised goes directly to care for the homeless animals of our region.
