A family and dog-friendly event that welcomes participants of all ages and abilities, the Pet Valu Walk for Dog
Guides relies on the generous support of volunteers, donors, and partners to meet its goal of giving Canadians a
new leash on life.
Providing specially trained Dog Guides through six distinct programs meeting a wide range of needs, Dog
Guides increase the independence, mobility, and safety of their handlers.
The Pet Valu Walk for Dog Guides is a national fundraiser held in over 240 communities across Canada. The
Walk raises funds for Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, whose mission is to assist Canadians with a
medical or physical disability by providing them a Dog Guide at no cost. Dog Guides are provided at no cost to
eligible Canadians, despite the $25,000 expense it takes to raise, train, and place each one.
