The Humane Society of Charlotte is hosting its annual Pet Palooza fundraiser this weekend.

Event-goers can enjoy musical entertainment & a fido fashion show, while dining from local food trucks. A 2k Walk and vendor fair are also part of the day's activities.

All  proceeds go toward helping our community's homeless and at-need pets with services such as low-cost spay/neuter, adoptions, and low-cost vaccine and microchip clinics.

Pet lovers can join the fun at Independence Park, located at 300 Hawthorne Lane in Charlotte, Saturday April 13, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Admission is free and open to the public. The fee for participating in the 2k Walk is $35.
