Steps for Pets
Wanna Go for a Walk ? Steps for Pets is a pet-friendly, family-friendly fundraising walk in selected Ontario locations. Join us to make a difference in the lives of pets and the people who love them! PAWS (Progressive Animal Welfare Services) helps pet guardians and their dogs or cats overcome financial barriers to routine or emergency veterinary care and offers resources and education for people and community agencies. Your donation will provide much-needed support to our furry friends and help keep them with their loving humans. Take meaningful steps to make a difference in the lives of animals in our community! 🎉 We had a blast at Steps for Pets! You raised $6,640 to help keep people and their pets together and we could not be more grateful. We hope you’ll join us next year on June 5, 2027! Walk With Us Create or Join a team Click!
