Walk for the Animals
We’re back — and we’re ready to leash up the dogs and get walking!
Join us on Sunday, September 25, 2022 for the 33rd annual Margre Durham Walk for the Animals!
Who’s ready to get out and Walk? We are! (And a huge shout out to everyone who supported us last year. You were there for the homeless animals and we appreciate all your fundraising efforts!)
We can’t wait to see all your faces back in our meadow as we get things back to “normal”. There will be Vendor Village, Rescue Groups, Silent Auction, Adoption Parade, Amazing Food, Beer Garden, Entertainment and, of course, the Walk down the Keystone Trail.
There is nothing like being around so many people who love animals as much as you do. Help us make the 2022 Walk for the Animals an event to remember tor the homeless animals!

Did you know?
The very first Walk for the Animals took place in 1989, with 50 people and their pets. Last year, even during a pandemic, nearly 400 of you registered and raised funds to help animals in need.
We would like to extend a huge round of a-paws to everyone who has walked over the years to save homeless animals and give them the second chance they deserve.
Please join us this year, so together, we can save the lives of more animals.
Why Participate?
The Nebraska Humane Society protects, saves and enriches the lives of animals in the communities we serve. By participating in the Walk for the Animals you are saving the lives of more than 20,000 animals who come through our doors each year in need of shelter, care and healing before finding their forever home. Your support makes a difference.
