The Humane Society of Chittenden County Hosts 27th Annual Walk for the Animals & 5K Doggie Fun Run at Burlington's Waterfront Park
The Humane Society of Chittenden County (HSCC) is gearing up for the 27th Annual Walk for the Animals & 5K Doggie Fun Run on Saturday, August 14th at a brand-new location - Burlington's Waterfront Park! Participants may choose to complete a 1 mile walk or 5K fun run, with or without their canine companion. The event will feature a scenic lakeside route, free ice cream for both humans and dogs from Ben & Jerry's, a DIY doggie photo booth, refreshments & snacks, raffle giveaways, music, and much more! All participants who raise $100 or more will receive a commemorative T-shirt and bandana for their dog, with great prizes from Ben & Jerry's, Petra Cliffs, and The Great Northern for the Top Fundraisers.
This is HSCC's largest fundraiser of the year, with all proceeds supporting their community programs and services. In addition to rehoming 1,087 dogs, cats, and small animals in 2020, HSCC has celebrated more than 50,000 adoptions over the past 120 years! HSCC also offers low-cost spay/neuter and preventative veterinary care to community pets, runs humane education programs for children and adults, boards the pets of families in crisis, provides a year-round Emergency Pet Food Shelf, and is the only humane society in Vermont that employs a humane investigator who responds to reports of animal cruelty.
The Walk & 5K is a great way to have fun, get some exercise, and spend quality time with your pooch and fellow animal lovers, all while supporting a good cause!
