Join Sarge’s Animal Rescue at 10 a.m. Sept. 7, for a fun-filled annual event at the Haywood County Courthouse in Waynesville. 

“It’s a wonderful way for the community to support Sarge’s as they care for Haywood County’s homeless cats and dogs,” said Sue Libera, who has been a Sarge’s volunteer since 2005.

Sarge’s will be welcoming back Eddie and Amanda Foxx from 99.9 KISS Country as grand marshals and contest judges along with Jeanne Naber, of Songbug DJ Services, who will emcee the event. There will be music, fun, dog contests and the dog walk parade.

Registration is now available online at sarges.org.

Individuals can pre-register in person Sept. 5-6 from noon to 6 p.m. at Sarge’s Animal Rescue, 256B Industrial Park Drive, Waynesville.

Anyone can also register on the day of the event, starting at 9 a.m., at the Haywood County Courthouse on Main Street in Waynesville.

Sarge’s has rescued over 11,800 of Haywood County’s homeless cats and dogs.

“It’s heartbreaking that there is still such an overwhelming number of homeless animals in our county,” said volunteer Tish O’Connor, who has been part of Sarge’s since its beginning.
