There will also be food and beverages available for purchase from Rosati's Pizza of Woodstock! And, of course, meet some of our adorable shelter dogs that are available for adoption.

In addition to a fun day in the park, the funds raised will help the hundreds of animals at Helping Paws throughout the coming year. If you're not able to attend the event, you can still support the animals by becoming a "virtual walker" or make a general donation.

Fundraising

This is your opportunity to show some love to homeless pets and change their lives for the better. We are looking for some Big Dogs to help us raise much needed funds to take care of the many homeless animals at our shelter. Our fundraising goal for this year is $25,000 but we know we can get there with your help!  

What can $5 or $10 Do for a Homeless Pet? A LOT!

Are you passionate about helping homeless pets, but unsure how to go about asking people to sponsor your efforts? You are not alone, but the more you do it, the more comfortable you'll get. 

Here's the best part: Anyone in your life who loves animals, will appreciate this opportunity to help! You can be a successful fundraiser for homeless pets by asking people you know to support what you believe in. Just a little bit of money from a handful of people can really add up! 

Ask each of your friends or family members for $5 or $10 each and very quickly you become a powerful fundraiser for the animals. You can set up your fundraising page online or download pledge forms on our website.

 

NEW THIS YEAR!
