You can walk as an individual or as a pack (two or more people) with your dogs on their leashes.  You can also join the walk without a dog, of course!  And even if you are unable to walk, you can still help us fundraise by setting up a fundrasing page on FirstGiving!

All Donations will go towards our “Building Fund”.  The temporary building we use to house our larger dogs is being torn down, so donations are urgently needed in order for Bobbi & the Strays to find a permanent home.  Please read more about the loss of our shelter here.
