Walk4Animals & 5K Run

🐾 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 2024 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.

• Event Options: Join the purple wave by running in our 5K or bring your dog to Walk4Animals, a 1.65-mile walk.
• Fundraising Importance: Every dollar raised ensures Anderson Humane has the resources to care for and protect every animal.
• Race Details: The 5K is a timed event: the 1.65 mile Walk is not timed.
• Dress Code: Don't forget to wear your purple!

🚶‍♂️ UNABLE TO ATTEND?
