It’s time to get moving for the Humane Society of Greater Miami’s virtual Walk for the Animals. From Apr. 2 to Apr. 30, the Humane Society is challenging you to get active every day to help raise much-needed funds for the homeless animals of Miami.
The 22nd annual Walk for the Animals is more exciting than ever as it gives you the opportunity to choose where and how you raise money. Whether you choose to take on the great outdoors by walking, running or biking, or you prefer to stay indoors and rack up the miles on your peloton or by following your favorite online dance class, every mile helps the shelter pets.
When you create your fundraising page, you can ask your friends to pledge donations for every mile you log. And now with the integration of the new Movespring app you not only will be able to link movement from your activity tracker, like your Fitbit or Apple Watch, but you also will see your progress and standing on a virtual journey map, making this Walk more interactive than ever. Along the way you will find special messages from sponsors and incentives to keep achieving more miles and raising more money.
At the end of the month-long challenge, prizes will be awarded to the top three individuals and top Pack based on fundraising and based on miles — the most prizes given at the Walk for the Animals yet.
“We are so excited for the opportunity to get the community ‘together’ virtually to help all of the homeless animals,” said Laurie Hoffman, executive director of the Humane Society of Greater Miami. “This year’s event allows registrants to use their hobbies and fitness goals to help fundraise at whatever time that is most convenient for them, which may make this the most successful and lifesaving Walk for the Animals yet.”
Whether you are looking to get back on track with your New Year’s resolutions, want your everyday exercise to go the “extra-mile” or just want to help homeless animals in our community, the Walk for the Animals is a win-win for everyone — two-legged and four-leggeds alike.

The Humane Society of Greater Miami is a limited admit, adoption guarantee facility dedicated to placing every dog and cat in our care into a loving home, and to promoting responsible pet ownership and spay/neuter programs. Adoption guarantee means that every animal that is admitted to the shelter is free from the threat of euthanasia due to time, space, or treatable medical issues.
The Humane Society of Greater Miami provides shelter, food, veterinary care, and plenty of TLC while the dogs and cats wait for their permanent home, no matter how long it takes.
The organization has been helping homeless animals in Miami-Dade County since 1936. It offers programs and services to educate, inform, and inspire people to take responsible care of their pets and treat animals with the kindness they deserve. With the support of people from across the county, we are helping to create a better community for all. It is a private, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) charitable animal welfare organization supported by our programs and services, as well as donations, private grants and fundraising events.
