Let's make this Misson Pawsible!

Join us on Sunday, May 26th at Bronte Creek Provincial Park for the Mission Pawsible 2K Dog Walk in support of the vital care, shelter, and love OMHS provides to animals in need.

Set amidst the scenic backdrop of Bronte Creek Provincial Park, participants can choose from a 2K dog walk, or 5K/10K run.

This year, we've also added a special Rainbow Bridge tribute to honour the memories of our beloved furry friends who are no longer with us but have an everlasting imprint on our hearts.

The fun-filled day is a celebration of the unconditional love our furry friends bring to our lives and the power of community to protect them.

Register online as a participant or sign up as a team captain and challenge your friends to join you. When registering, you can personalize your fundraising page by sharing heartfelt stories of the pets that have impacted your life. Share your fundraising page with your network to help us raise funds and have a paw-sitive impact on the lives and animals in our care.

A minimum donation of $25 to the OMHS is required in the Mission Pawsible 2K.

Participants can register for both the 2K Dog Walk and the 5K/10K events. Please remember that your BFF (Best Furry Friend) os allowed to join the 2K event; dogs cannot participate in the 5K and 10K events.

Anyone who raises over $100 for the OMHS will be entered into a draw for a chance to win 10 free class passes from our friends at Power Yoga Canada, Oakville.
