Ottawa Wiggled for Homeless Animals — Humane Society Says Thank You
Oct. 1, 2024 — Sunday, Sept. 29, more than 1,400 people registered for the Ottawa Humane Society’s Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run presented by Hill’s Pet Nutrition and produced by Run Ottawa on the Great Lawn at Lansdowne Park. The event is Ottawa’s biggest for homeless animals in need and this year the community raised more than $200,000 for Ottawa’s animals.
“We can’t thank our caring community enough for their incredible support,” said Sharon Miko, OHS President & CEO. “We’re at the tail end of our busiest season and there are many animals at the OHS who are counting on the community for life-saving care and a second chance in their perfect forever home.”
The community is helping animals like Sequoia and Fern, two dogs who were found lost, alone, and severely emaciated only weeks ago. Thanks to Ottawa’s generosity at the Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run, more animals like these two dogs will get the life-saving shelter and care they need.
The OHS thanks everyone who participated or visited the Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run this weekend. Photos from the event are available online.
