At the 19th Annual Walk for Paws and Spring Music Festival, donations go toward the Chester County SPCA, which recently saved 330 dogs from an unlicensed breeding facility. Since the rescue, the SPCA has dealt with a growing debt of more than $100,000 due to legal and medical fees.

Participants can enter the AmeriCanine Idol canine contest; categories include best-dressed dog, best canine singer and the owner and dog that most resemble each other.

Any awards for the owner who can eat the most Milkbones?
