Join us on Sunday, September 29, 2024 for the 35th annual Margre Durham Walk & Dog Fest!

Who’s ready to get out and Walk? We are! (And a huge shout out to everyone who supported us in 2023. You were there for the homeless animals and we appreciate all your fundraising efforts!)

We can’t wait to see all your faces (human and furry) back in the meadow on the NHS campus, starting at 11 a.m. on Sept. 29, 2024 and concluding at 1:30 p.m. There will be Vendor Village, Rescue Groups, Silent Auction, Beer Garden, Adoption Parade, Great Food, Entertainment and, of course, the Walk down the Keystone Trail.  Every single part of this is dog friendly!

There is nothing like being around so many people who love animals as much as you do. Help us make the 2024 Walk for the Animals an event to remember tor the homeless animals!  Check it out right here.
