Woofer and Hoofer

The Woofer and Hoofer walk is an important annual fundraiser for the Minnesota Valley Humane Society, which serves the animals in the Greater South Metro Area of Minneapolis and St. Paul.  This event encourages our supporters to collect pledges from their family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and anyone else they know.  The shelter relies on donations from individuals and corporations to care for the many animals that are brought to the shelter, and it is folks like YOU who can help make a difference! 

Thank you for your support in helping MVHS achieve its mission:

To prevent and alleviate animal suffering through shelter, adoption, education, collaboration and community outreach; and to strengthen the relationship between people and companion animals.

Thank you to everyone that participated in the 2009 Woofer & Hoofer!
