Walk. Wag. Give Back.
Join us for a tail-waggin' good time at the first-ever dog walk fundraiser hosted by the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri! Enjoy a beautiful morning filled with furry friends, fresh air, and fundraising fun at the scenic Rutledge-Wilson Farm Park.
Walk your dog to help raise funds for dogs and cats needing to find love and happiness. Don't have a pup? No problem-you can walk with or without a dog, go as far as you want, and at any pace you like!
Whether your pup loves to strut their stuff or prefers a slower, sniff-filled stroll, this walk is for animal lovers of all ages and energy levels. Choose your own pace on a scenic walk of up to 3 miles.
After your walk, stick around to enjoy:
- Delicious food trucks
- Exciting raffle prizes
- Adoptable animals
- Humane Society merch booth
- Water stations for people & pets
- Enjoy the scenic park setting after your walk!
Why We Walk:
Every step helps provide shelter, care, and love to animals in need. Funds raised support the mission of the Humane Society of Southwest Missouri-helping homeless pets find loving families and second chances.
