It starts with a run —but it turns into something so much more.
On April 25 from 10am-1pm, families, friends, and four-legged besties will gather at West Goshen Community Park for Walk for Paws, a feel-good celebration where every step helps save lives.
Whether you’re dashing through our 5K color run, strolling the 1K walk, stretching it out with yoga and puppies, or cheering from the sidelines, there’s a place for everyone. Expect live music, local vendors, a kids fun zone, adoptable pets ready to meet their people, a crowd-favorite pet costume contest, and even a doggie lure course for pups who love to chase joy.
This year’s walk is extra special. We’re honored to welcome Dawn Timmeney, anchor/reporter, FOX 29 News on WTFX-FOX 29 for a second year as our emcee, along with Eddie from Eddie & Chooch, who will lead the walk in loving memory of Chooch—a beautiful reminder of the bond we share with the animals we love and never forget. You can even join their teams to walk with them!
Come as you are. Bring your dog, your kids, your friends—or just your big heart. Together, we’ll walk for paws, for love, and for a future where every pet belongs!
Early-bird registration is open through March 30, so now’s the perfect time to sign up, save, and be part of a day powered by compassion and community.

We urgently need your help. Nearly 50 small dogs and puppies, matted, neglected, frightened, and suffering from untreated medical issues, were rescued from heartbreaking conditions.
Your donation provides lifesaving medical care to help these little survivors recover and find the homes they always deserved.
We are partnering with the National Hockey League (NHL) on the Stanley Pup to spotlight adorable pups from our shelters.
