PAWS Against Domestic Violence Pet Walk
Crisis Center North presents a pet walk at North Park Harmar Pavilion in Allison Park on October 24, 2026. The event raises funds for the Center's PAWS program; one hundred percent of proceeds support that program.
Registration categories include multiple options for walkers with or without pets, discounted staff categories, a virtual participation option, youth pricing, and a free option for children under three. Fees for different registrations range from free up to fifty dollars. Some registrations include a swag bag and a pet walk T-shirt; other options include post-walk refreshments such as donuts, coffee, juice, and snacks, and vouchers for pet games. A virtual entry allows participants to walk or run on behalf of the organization from another location.
The event ties to Crisis Center North's broader mission to empower victims of domestic violence and to change community attitudes and behaviors that sustain violence. The organization provides counseling, therapy, case management, legal and medical advocacy, and economic empowerment services.
The PAWS program offers several services for people affected by intimate partner violence, including animal-assisted support during trauma-informed counseling, accompaniment for victims in courtroom settings, an educational component for veterinarians and animal service providers addressing the intersection of animal abuse and intimate partner violence, and emergency animal care stipends for pets of families impacted by domestic violence.
