Community Events
At Soft Paws Society, movement is part of our mission—on the sidewalk, on the trails, and in the ways we show up for each other.
Our events are more than social—they’re intentional spaces where dogs and humans connect, heal, and give back. Whether you’re here to hike, help, or just hang out, you’re welcome.

Why We Walk
These events raise more than funds.
They raise awareness, connection, and compassion.
Every step forward helps us build a more inclusive, loving world for dogs and the people who care for them—especially those still waiting for a home.
