JOIN OUR PACK!
Every year, thousands of dogs, cats, small mammals and wildlife count on Anderson Humane for a second chance. We work tirelessly to provide life-changing care and support these animals with food, shelter, medical care, and most importantly, the love and respect they deserve. In 2024 we rescued 4000+ domestic and 3000+ wild animals. Our Walk4Animals & 5K helps us continue our commitment to creating a more humane world for animals and the people who love them.
- Participate: Join the purple wave by running in our 5K.
- Bring your dog: Help make Walk4Animals, a 1.65-mile walk around the Batavia Riverwalk, Anderson Humane's largest fundraiser.
- Event details: The 5K is a timed event. The 1.65-mile Walk is not timed.
- Fundraising importance: Every dollar raised ensures Anderson Humane has the resources to care for and protect every animal that comes through our doors.
Your support today will help make second chances possible for the animals that need us most. Together, we can make happy new beginnings possible! Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Don't forget to wear your purple!
