Organiser's description
JOIN OUR PACK!
Every year, thousands of dogs, cats, small mammals and wildlife count on Anderson Humane for a second chance. We work tirelessly to provide life-changing care and support these animals with food, shelter, medical care, and most importantly, the love and respect they deserve. _IN 2023 WE RESCUED 4000+ DOMESTIC AND 3000+ WILD ANIMALS._ Our Walk4Animals & 5K helps us continue our commitment to creating a more humane world for animals _and_ the people who love them.
Now you can BE PART OF THE MISSION! Join the purple wave by running in our 5K. Or bring your dog & help make Walk4Animals, a 1.65-mile walk around the Batavia Riverwalk, Anderson Humane's largest fundraiser. The 5K is a timed event. The 1.65 mile Walk is not timed.
Every dollar raised for Walk4Animals ensures Anderson Humane has the resources to care for and protect every animal that comes through our doors. Please consider giving what you can either through a donation or by joining us and helping us raise money for this important cause.
