Photo finish for the SPCA Walk for Wildlife

Here's some pics from the recent Walk for Wildlife, and the fundraising results...

Animal Planet star Jeff Corwin was at the front of the pack, when the SPCA Wildlife Care Center's Walk for Wildlife got underway on April 19 in Quiet Waters Park in Deerfield Beach.

It was a great day for the 4,500 walkers and their pets -- a 30 percent increase in attendance over the previous year. They raised more than $100,000 for the center, which rescues, rehabilitates and releases injured wildlife as well as finds homes for domestic and exotic animals.

The top fundraising "flock," pictured above with Corwin, was the Michelle Lawless Wildlife Warriors. Other awards went to Donna Leone for top adult fundraiser, and to Alex Ng for the top child fundraiser -- Alex's second year winning that title.

And here are some walking teams that had a Dog Day Morning:
Mike Ingenito with Cody and Coco;
and Kelsey and Aubrey Harper with Charo.

Congratulations to the walkers and the center for a successful event.
