First Sunday in June at Greenway Park, on Greenside Avenue, off Springbank Drive, just west of Wharncliffe Road.  

This family orientated event attracts people of all ages and backgrounds, and takes place in beautiful Greenway Park where a 5km route has been mapped out for our pledge earners. (For those with older or younger dog there is a shorter walk available.) There are 11 Water Stations positioned along the route to ensure a fresh supply of water for your dog, with most sponsored by our generous veterinarian community. Remember to pick up a special treat for your dog from our sponsor at the Finish Line!

In addition to the walk itself, participants are invited to visit our event tents which house a wide array of exhibitors from the animal care industry who offer products, services and information. A showcase of entertainment includes pet trick contests, agility and dog training demonstrations, and product giveaways.  There will also be a charity food area, with all proceeds going directly to our animals.

Greenway Park, London
10am - 2pm
Great prizes for top pledge earners!
Fun for the whole family!

Spring/Summer Special Events FUNdraising Campaign

Each spring & summer, starting during May’s “Be Kind to Animals Week” and ending in August, we look for volunteers to put on their thinking caps and raise funds on behalf of the animals.  The challenge is a creative one.  Campaigning door-to-door not quite right for you? Participants may prefer to approach their friends, relatives or co-workers for monetary support. Email everyone in your Address Book - You will be amazed at how many people you know! 

Want to help by organizing your own fundraiser for the London Humane Society? Ideas for fundraising are only limited by your imagination.

 Create a Toonie Pot and set it up in the staff room
 Organizing a "dress-down" day, a staff BBQ or bake sale
Plan a neighbourhood Garage Sale,Book Sale or Car Wash

Let us know the details and we'll do our best to help promote it!!

Please note: the London Humane Society may not be directly involved in the planning, production or promotion of the above events. These are private fundraising efforts on our behalf.

Here are 10 ways to Be Kind to Animals:

1. Speak out for animals  
2. Never tolerate animal cruelty
3. Adopt a shelter pet
4. Spay or neuter your pets
5. Keep pets’ vaccinations current
6. Identify your pets with tags
7. Donate to your local animal shelter
8. Appreciate wildlife
9. Leave room for habitats
10. Teach your friends about the importance of being kind to animals
