What Sets Steps for Pets Apart
You show up every day for animals who need a voice. Steps for Pets gives your community a meaningful way to do the same.
Built for This Cause
Steps for Pets was built with one cause in mind: the rescues, shelters, and adoption organizations giving animals a second chance. Walkers, donors, and sponsors show up knowing exactly what they’re supporting and why it matters.
Pets Welcome. Always.
Participants are encouraged to bring their dogs along for the 1 or 2 km in-person walk, or self-organize an offsite stroll with their pet anytime in June.
Everything Stays Local
Money raised stays in your community for the animals you serve. When people can see their impact close to home, they give more generously and bring others with them.
A Community That Comes Back
Across Blue Sea’s nationally franchised events, more than 75,000 people have participated and 95% recommend the experience. Steps for Pets is the type of event people will look forward to year after year.
