Description

Get your Tail on the Trails! Join Cape Ann Animal Aid for a 2.6-mile hike in Dogtown Woods with your pup to fundraise for Cape Ann Animal Aid! Register for this event, and then create your own fundraiser to keep the good momentum going! All funds raised will support homeless animals at Cape Ann Animal Aid.

Register as a walker: Registration is required for walkers, and all registrations help support life-saving work! Click "Donate or Register to Walk" to get started. Note: kids under 5 years old and dogs walk free, but we would still like you to register them for an accurate head (and paw!) count.

How to Fundraise: Help raise crucial funds to help homeless animals! You can make our event as successful as possible by creating your own fundraising page. Our suggested goal for each individual fundraiser is $200, but feel free to set any goal that feels achievable to you! Fundraisers who raise over $50 will get a free "Tails on the Trails" t-shirt (additional t-shirts available for purchase). To create your personal page, click "Start Fundraising!".

Time: The main group for the hike will kick off at 10am. Late starts are welcome but will cut off at 12pm.

Pets: Friendly, leashed and vaccinated dogs are welcome to join you on the trails! Because not all pups appreciate crowds or being approached by other dogs, we are asking all participants to kindly keep their pets on-leash for the duration of their walk. Think your pet would enjoy a quieter experience? Check out our virtual walk option!
