Participants are encouraged to bring a donation item to help the animals from Heartland's animal wish list at heartlandanimalshelter.net and will receive a free raffle ticket for each donation.

Advance registration is $25 for adults and $10 for children and you may register online at heartlandanimalshelter.net/events or by mailing your check to Heartland Animal Shelter, 2975 Milwaukee Ave., Northbrook, IL 60062. Make checks payable to Heartland Animal Shelter and note "Hogs for Dogs" on the memo section of the check.
