CALLING ALL SUPERHEROS to our 2020 Companion Walk for Animals

Compassion isn’t cancelled – and neither is our 2020 Annual Companion Walk for Animals! 

As we continue to work together to overcome this challenging time, we have decided to make our Annual Companion Walk for animals a VIRTUAL experience, allowing us to stay connected in our commitment to help the animals of Central Minnesota.

What is a Virtual Walk?

A virtual walk means after you fundraise you get to walk on your own time and at your own pace! Suggested walk time is Saturday, September 12th @ 10:00am. Walk around the block with friends, in your backyard, or even on your treadmill. While we won’t be walking side-by-side this year, our love for animals will continue to unite us!

Tag yourself in our Facebook Event for a chance to win prizes using the hashtags #stillwalkingforTCHS and making #stridesforanimals. 

This year's virtual theme is CALLING ALL SUPERHEROES! So grab your kids and pets and dress them in their favorite superhero costume for your walk. Post your pictures on our Facebook event and be entered to win prizes.

Why the Walk is Important:

Each year, the Society provides services for over 3,000 animals.  Each pet is evaluated, examined, given appropriate vaccinations and dewormings, spayed/neutered, treated for ailments and injuries as needed, and given lots of TLC. There is no time limit for pets in our care, and provided they pass our health and behavior screening, they will remain in our care as long as necessary to find the perfect match.  On average, pets are adopted in less than ten days, and we regularly place well over 90% of the pets that enter our doors in homes—amazing for an open-admission animal shelter!

This fundraising event is vital for us to continue providing these important services to pets in need. It is also a really good opportunity for pet-lovers to unite and celebrate the human-animal bond - virtually!
