Furry Scurry; Presented by Hill’s Pet Nutrition
2025-05-03 09:00 - 12:00 | Washington Park, S. Downing St. & E. Louisiana Ave., Denver, Colorado, 80210
The Furry Scurry is an annual, fun-filled festival and two-mile dog walk at Denver’s Washington Park to benefit the animals at Humane Colorado. This year, people can gather in person on Saturday, May 3 from 9am to 12pm OR walk from afar between now and May 3! No matter where you scurry, every step you take and dollar you raise will make a lasting difference for the animals in our care.
To celebrate our 32nd year, we’re offering a range of fun activities we know you’ll love – from contests to food truck fare. If a remote experience is more your style, you can register and walk the two miles wherever you wish with a canine or feline friend by your side!
Furry Scurry registration fees and donations transform the lives of vulnerable pets and horses at the League and across Colorado. We provide high-quality care to more than 47,000 animals each year, with most of our funding coming from generous supporters like you. Fundraisers like the Furry Scurry are essential for the League to continue our shelter, rehabilitation, veterinary, and community services for the animals and people who need us most.
