Join us for our first-ever virtual PetsWALK!

Due to the impact of COVID-19, we have transitioned our 27th Annual PetsWALK, originally scheduled for June 27, to a virtual event. While we would love to have everyone together for our annual party in the park, we are following recommendations from the CDC against gatherings of large numbers of people. The health and safety of our staff, volunteers, and community will always be our top priority.

Your support matters more than ever during this crisis. Participation in PetsWALK helps support lifesaving care and shelter for 6,100 homeless animals annually. Thank you for your generosity and compassion as we work together to serve vulnerable animals during this challenging time.

This year's virtual PetsWALK Presented by Poulsbo Animal Clinic is a month-long event where participants can complete their 5K from any location they choose! You can run, jog, or walk on the road, trail, or treadmill while keeping a safe distance from other runners. You get to run your own race at your own pace! Complete with a virtual vendor fair, exclusive Facebook group and chances to win great prizes, this year’s virtual PetsWALK is a fun and interactive way to raise money for homeless pets at Kitsap Humane Society.
