Paws for a Cause: Rescue Walk
Join the Rescue Walk!
For years, our Pledge Walk has been a powerful way for you to help animals through easy online fundraising with friends and family! This year, our walk has a new name and a new purpose! Every penny raised supports lifesaving Veterinary Care for Summit County rescue pets.
Becoming a fundraiser is dog-gone easy! Create a personal fundraising page to raise donations and earn rewards or download our offline fundraising form. Create or join a team to multiply your support! Please, be one of our 200 fundraisers needed to reach our $30,000 goal and save Summit County rescue pets.
Can we count on you?
