Paws in the Park Walk & Pet Fest is ready to paw-ty! This dog- and family-friendly event is one of Helping Paws' biggest fundraisers and lots of fun for the whole family!
Enjoy a walk around the nature path at Emricson Park in Woodstock with your friends, family and canines. After the walk, spend the rest of the day at the Pet Fest!

There will also be food and beverages available for purchase from Rosati's Pizza of Woodstock! And, of course, meet some of our adorable shelter dogs that are available for adoption.
In addition to a fun day in the park, the funds raised will help the hundreds of animals at Helping Paws throughout the coming year. If you're not able to attend the event, you can still support the animals by becoming a "virtual walker" or make a general donation. We could not do this work without our compassionate supporters like YOU!
So join us for a fun day and help us meet our goal of raising more than $25,000 to save the animals at Helping Paws!
