HAWS Pet Walkathon - Our 30th Year!
On the first Saturday of May each year, hundreds of pet lovers high-tail-it to Sussex Village Park for this day-long festival of pets and their people, in support of the Humane Animal Welfare Society!
Giving Pets a "Home Field" Advantage
Your participation and donations provide proper care, food, bedding, toys and lots of attention for the animals in need at HAWS, while they wait to find their new adoptive homes! Funds are also used to support HAWS' humane education programs, which promote responsible pet ownership and prevent animal abuse.
There's more to do than just walk! Visit vendor booths and do some shopping, participate in contests and games, have a tasty lunch, meet adoptable pets from HAWS, enjoy meeting up with old friends and making new ones! Best of all, 100% of the money raised for this event goes straight to HAWS!
What does your Walkathon donation do for HAWS?
Your donation helps "Load the Bases" for HAWS, because:
- $10 can provide vaccinations and heartworm or feline leukemia testing for an adoptable pet
- $25 ensures on-call assistance from our Animal Rescue Team for lost pets
- $50 can spay or neuter a pet
- $100 helps feed an entire shelter ward!
