We are excited to share our 2025 Walk for the Animals: Be Our Lifesaver event will be held on Saturday, September 13, 2025 at the Sunnyview Expo Center’s Barn E from 8:30am-11:30am!
This year’s event will feature a live band, face painting, kids’ activities, dog games, fun prizes, food and drinks from the Brewing Futures food truck, vendor booths, goody bags, raffle baskets and more!
Every year, we rely heavily on this fundraiser to generate the funding needed to replenish our medical care fund. This supports the costs of providing a medical exam for each animal, including vaccinations, testing, blood work, medications, spaying and neutering, and other veterinary care as needed.
These funds ensure OAHS can compassionately care for the more than 3,200 animals in need who come through our doors each year, and to provide low-cost vaccination and microchipping clinics to the community.
Pet relinquishment continues to be on the rise due to economic factors, and costs for food, supplies and medical care have also increased over the last year. Our goal for this event is to raise $65,000.
