Lehigh Valley Zoo, 5150 Game Preserve Road, Schnecksville, will be holding its first ever virtual 1K-9 Dog Walk on May 9.

They are asking members of the community to bring their dogs and leashes for an enjoyable morning of exercise around their neighborhood, while they support the zoo.

Ticket holders will also be able to pick up a goodie bag containing an adult zoo ticket and lots of doggy themed goodies upon re-opening of the zoo.

They will also be entered to win a BarkBox.
