Register today at our website to start changing animals’ lives.

Why join us at the Walk for Animals?
With so many incredible activities, vendors, and fun planned on event day, it’s hard to choose just one reason you should register for the Walk.
It could be your chance to meet (and pet!) so many sweet animals. It could be the delicious food options available for you to munch on after you walk or the chance to visit over 50 pet-related businesses in the vendor village.
But the biggest reason to join us is to help make more second chances possible for animals in Minnesota and beyond (not to mention seeing thousands of fellow animal lovers step up for our furry, scaly, and feathered friends). When you fundraise, you help:
- Transport dogs from overcrowded shelter partners to safety at AHS
- Offer housing, medical care, and necessary resources to more animals awaiting adoption
- Provide vital resources to pet parents in our community like free pet food and access to our Pet Helpline to help keep pets with the people who love them
- Keep our veterinary services low-cost and accessible to more people in the community
Every step you take and every dollar you raise is another second chance given to an animal in need — what could be better than that?
