Let’s go! The 18th Annual Wiggle Waggle Walk parades back to Brookside Park on Sunday, September 25th. Join thousands of animal lovers and their four-legged friends for a fun-filled community dog walk and fundraiser.
Our goal this year is to raise $325,000 to help provide shelter, food, veterinary care and so much more to the nearly 12,000 animals cared for every year at the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA. Funds raised from the Wiggle Waggle Walk will benefit all the animals that come through our open doors including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, wildlife and more.
