Cause for Paws - Portsmouth

Each year, Portsmouth Humane Society provides shelter, food, medical care, and love to hundreds of animals in need. We love this work, but we can't do it alone. Supporters like you make it possible for us to save hundreds of lives through our shelter program when you volunteer, donate, share our posts, or attend our events. We are so thankful to those who have supported us through the trials of the last few years, and we can't wait to bring back Cause for Paws as an in-person pet festival!

Start your morning with the 5K or 1-Mile Run/Walk as a crowd of shelter pets cheers you on, enjoy the sights of Olde Towne Portsmouth, then browse our vendor fair at Festival Park! Remember, all proceeds support animals in need.

Registration includes a Cause for Paws Event T-Shirt, Finisher Item, Sponsor Goody Bag, and Beer Ticket. Vaccinated pets are welcome (and highly encouraged)!
