Volunteer at the Walk for Animals!
The Walk for Animals is one of San Diego Humane Society’s largest fundraising events of the year and helps raise money to care for the thousands of wild and domestic animals that will come through the shelter in 2025. We’ll celebrate our community’s commitment to animals, while raising vital funds for our lifesaving programs.
Hundreds of volunteers are invited to join us in helping make our Walk for Animals success. Want to join the fun?!

Volunteer Roles
Course Marshal, 8:15-11 a.m.
Hundreds of volunteers cheering for our walkers and their pups make our Walk for Animals as lively and fun for our supporters! We'd love your help in this role and hope you'll join the party. Course Marshals are positioned along the walk route to direct walkers so they don’t veer off course and get lost along the trail in Liberty Station. They also cheer for walkers and their dogs as they pass by, so lots of energy is required!
Other volunteer roles may become available as we get closer to the date. We suggest registering as a Course Marshal then keeping an eye out for any new opportunities in your volunteer profile.
Pets are not permitted to volunteer with you. If you prefer to participate with your pet, you can sign up to walk!
The Walk is outdoors in the early morning, so wear warm layers and water-resistant shoes. Also, be prepared for a few hours of standing.
As a thank you for your help during the event, volunteers are provided with a free pancake breakfast and a commemorative event pin.
Need a record of your volunteer hours to submit to your school or work?
At the end of your volunteer shift, our Volunteer Engagement team can sign off on any paperwork you bring with you or can provide a standard hours verification letter.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering
and for supporting San Diego Humane Society!
