Engage with animal enthusiasts, participate in or watch hilarious dog contests, check out our vendors, purchase food from local food trucks, and set out on the 5K or 1-mile Run/Walk. You can choose a 5K or a 1-mile walk or run, in person or virtual. Help us make this the biggest dog walk in Triad all while helping the Forsyth Humane Society in its mission to advocate for the responsible care and welfare of animals in Forsyth County.
You are a vital part of the Forsyth Humane Society’s fundraising efforts, allowing us to serve over 3,000 animals in need every year. Proceeds support Forsyth Humane Society, which works to improve animal welfare in our community. We aim to help pets and their families, reduce shelter intake, and promote pet wellness. Together, we can support shelter pets and create a caring community.
