Trails For Tails is our annual walkathon and our biggest fundraiser of the year. This event is based on dog lovers who collect pledges from friends, relatives, co-workers, etc. to "sponsor" them in the walk. The walk is a leisurely stroll around the Lewis and Clark statue in Frontier Park in St. Charles, and after the walk, everyone is invited to visit the vendor booths, let your dog participate in dog games, enter him or her in one of our contests or just enjoy the camaraderie of other pet lovers. 

Raise Funds for the Animals

Ask your friends and relatives to sponsor you in the walk by collecting pledges. Wonderful prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners.

This year, raise even more funds and increase your chances of winning a prize by starting your own web fundraising page and inviting all of your friends to sponsor your online. To get started, just go to the St. Charles Humane Society's First giving account and follow the instructions to create a personalized individual or team page:
