About Walk & Wag
Be a part of our lifesaving mission and join us for Walk & Wag!
Now in its sixth year, Walk & Wag will take place both in person and virtually! Walk & Wag encourages both the local NY community and communities nationwide to get active while raising critical funds for our no-kill mission. Grab your sneakers and leash …and get wagging!
We encourage all who register to participate in fun contests, qualify for fundraising rewards, and take part in activities along the way! All participants will be asked to share their story on social media and tell us why they joined Walk & Wag – whether it’s for their furry pal, in memory of a devoted animal lover, or for animals EVERYWHERE!
We are counting on our corporate friends and donors to consider showing their dedication to saving homeless pets – either by sponsoring this lifesaving event or by forming a team to help raise funds!
