The Walk
Nuts for Mutts - The Walk joins animal lovers in a 5K walk to raise funds for New Leash On Life's education, rehabilitation and adoption programs, including Lend a Paw. Lend a Paw builds on the legacy created by New Leash On Life by rescuing animals, facilitating their rehabilitation and training and using the rescued animals as Social/Therapy dogs for children and adults with illness or disabilities in need of healing, acceptance, and love.
A fun Cross Country course through the rolling hills of Pierce College, overlooking the San Fernando Valley. The route will have "Pawzstations" with plenty of water stops, food and fun! Walk with your dog, kids or just yourself.

Your fundraising will also help support our Lend a Paw program. This exciting program builds on the legacy created by New Leash On Life by rescuing animals, facilitating their rehabilitation and training and using the rescued animals in one-on-one and group therapeutic settings for people with disabilities, senior citizens or those going through recovery.

Where and When
When: October 19, 2008
Registration Begins 8:00am
Walk Starts 9:30am
Where: Pierce College - Shepard Stadium
6201 Winnetka Ave
Woodland Hills, CA 91371
Directions:
- From Los Angeles, take the 101 Freeway West. Approx. 5 miles past the 101/405 junction, exit at Winnetka Ave. Turn right (north) and travel about 1 mile to Victory Blvd. Turn left to Mason St, then turn left again into Pierce College.
- From north of Woodland Hills, you can take the De Soto exit, turn left when you exit and follow until you reach Victory Blvd. Turn right on Victory, then right on Mason.
- There is a large parking lot (Parking Lot #7) immediately on your left. Unless you arrive very early in the morning, it is probably best to park in this parking lot and take a shuttle van to Shepard Stadium. If you choose, you can check the parking lots closer to the stadium (just follow Mason further up), but they fill up very quickly!
