CHEER ON BOSTON BUDDIES AS WE MARCH IN THE WORLD FAMOUS 2009 DOO DAH PARADE! January 18, 2009 Pasadena, California
The parade will bring over 1,500 revelers into the streets in the annual spoof of its more traditional counterpart. The event, once named as the nation's "best parade ever," is expected to draw an estimated 45,000 onlookers from all over Southern California. Boston Buddies volunteers and some of our current foster dogs, together with past adopters and alumni, will be marching in the parade and we would love to have you come out and be a spectator and cheer us on as we march to represent Boston Terrier rescue!
