Ottawa Wiggled for the Animals - Humane Society Says Thank You

Sept. 29, 2025 — Sunday, Sept. 28, more than 1,400 people participated in 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 $230,000 for Ottawa’s animals.

“We can’t thank our caring community enough for their incredible support,” said Sharon Miko, OHS President & CEO. “With the ongoing postal strike, the support from this event is essential in providing animals life-saving care and a second chance in their forever home.”

The community is helping animals like the 19 kittens who were found alone in a box last week. Thanks to Ottawa’s generosity at the Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run, more animals like these kittens 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.
