Did you Know?

The very first Walk for the Animals took place in 1989, with 50 people and their pets. Last year, 448 of you registered and raised funds to help animals in need.

We would like to extend a huge round of a-paws to everyone who has walked over the years to save homeless animals and give them the second chance they deserve.

Please join us this year, so together, we can save the lives of more animals.
