The 8th annual Walk & Wag challenge culminated on October 19th with a finale at Hudson River Park’s Pier 84 in Manhattan. Walkers and their dogs gathered under a brilliant blue sky to complete the final stretch, and enjoy a vendor fair that included treats for both two- and four-legged walkers. Our 2024 Walk & Wag Ambassadors Ilias Siafakas and Dr. Chris Markson – content creators, influencers, gamers and Muskrat Nation cat dads – were present to cut the ribbon and set participants on their way.
Whether strolling in person along the 3-mile loop or participating virtually from across the nation, everyone was united in one goal and together, we raised more than $100,000! These funds will help us rescue, nurture, and find loving homes for animals in need — animals like our Walk & Wag Canine Captain, Tater, who despite being blind, lives each day with boundless joy.
