Parade of Paws isn’t just a walk—it’s a movement! Join us as we step up for animals in need and celebrate the unbreakable bond between people and their pets. Every step taken and every dollar raised goes directly toward the lifesaving work of Spokane Humane Society, providing shelter, medical care, and second chances to countless furry friends.
Every year, Spokane Humane Society cares for thousands of animals, offering them safety, medical attention, and the love they deserve. By participating in Parade of Paws, you’re helping:
– Provide essential veterinary care to pets in low-income communities –
– Rescue and rehome abandoned and neglected animals –
– Keep pets and families together through vital support services –
When YOU walk, you help to provide beloved pets with food, shelter, enrichment, and medical care until they find a forever home. Spokane Humane Society is the oldest local non-profit in Spokane, and has been serving the community since 1897. Each year, we strut our pups to raise vital operating funds that support our community by providing care to our local furry friends. Will you join us in our mission to provide wellness, medical care, shelter, and placement into loving homes for companion animals in need?

As soon as you register, you're ready to start fundraising! Share a link to your team or solo walker fundraising page on social media, via text or email, or even add it to a flier and pass it around. If each walker raises just $250 this year, you will raise over $75,000 to give homeless dogs and cats in Spokane a second chance.
You'll be competing with the other teams and solo walkers to raise the most money. This year, the top fundraising team will be celebrating in their TOP DOG Private tent, stocked with drinks and goodies along with recognition and inclusion in the awards ceremony.
