Thank you for another great Walk/Run for the Animals! More than 1,000 dedicated supporters joined us for a rainy Walk/Run on May 4. And while we were all left a bit soggy at the end of it all, the rain couldn't dampen our spirits or commitment to supporting pets in need!

Each year, HSSW provides thousands of pets with lifesaving medical care, shelter, and a second chance for a happy home. Your support of Walk/Run makes this work possible. Thank you!
