Calling all animal lovers! Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 6, 2023, because Napa Humane is hosting their highly anticipated 12th annual Walk for Animals fundraising event in Yountville Community Park.

The Perfect Venue

Napa Humane is thrilled to announce that they have chosen Yountville’s beautiful green space as the venue for this year’s Walk for Animals. Embracing the spirit of community, Napa Humane recognizes the significance of this treasured gathering spot. Yountville Community Park sets the stage for a heartwarming and memorable community event that celebrates the love we share for animals.

Walking for a Purpose

The Walk for Animals is more than just a stroll—it’s an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of companion animals in need. By participating in this popular fundraiser, you’ll be supporting Napa Humane’s vital services and programs. Proceeds from the event directly benefit their low-cost, high-quality Spay/Neuter Clinic, humane education initiatives in local elementary and middle schools, and the new Napa Humane Pet Education Center, which offers a full range of basic dog training and obedience classes.

Exciting Activities Await

On the day of the event, participants—both human and canine—can look forward to a morning walk through the charming town of Yountville, surrounded by picturesque scenery. But that’s not all! Yountville Community Park will be abuzz with music, contests, a silent auction, a raffle, and more. Plus, Drool. Dog Cookies, a local favorite, will be there to support Napa Humane with delicious treats for our furry friends.
