Our Sponsors

Walk/Run for the Animals is our celebration of people and pets, and it wouldn't be possible without our incredible sponsors! Sponsorships support more than the event, they make it possible for us to achieve our mission to rescue · return · restore · rehome · reconnect one animal at a time.
