The Animal Welfare Society of Jefferson County will be participating in the Charles Town/Ranson Christmas Parade on Saturday, Dec. 6 at 3 p.m. The theme is “Christmas in Toyland.” The AWS walking unit will be comprised of dogs that have been adopted from shelters, rescue groups, AWS dogs that are in need of homes or other canine companions. Those, along with their special dog(s), who would like to help represent the Animal Welfare Society in the parade, please call the number below to register or find AWS in the lineup. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Enjoy the parade from a new perspective. Canine pals will have a great time. For those who don’t have a dog and would like to participate, they can walk a shelter dog or carry the banner. For more information and registration, please call 304-725-5972.
