Walk

The 23^rd Annual Festival & Walk for Animals raises $54,000 and still going!

Thank you to all of our fundraisers, donors, and walkers for participating in what turned out to be a beautiful, sunny day – perfect for a walk and festivities.

Collectively, the event raised over $54,000 that will help fund the shelter and DAWS’ animal rescue efforts this Fall. 

We stopped walking, but we’re still going!  Our Donation Pages  will remain open to process donations for a few more weeks.  Paws crossed, we’re still hoping to eclipse last year’s fundraising total of $57,000. 

Yes, I'll make a donation to the Walk for Animals to fund the shelter!

Every dollar counts and each donation makes a difference for the DAWS shelter.

Special thanks to our Sponsors:

Top Dog: Wags Doggie Daycamp

Best Loved Companion:  Zero Odor

Show Dogs: Brunner & Harter Veterinary LLC and Noah's Ark Animal Hospital
