At APPA, we love celebrating the special bond between people and their pets. That's why we're thrilled to participate in the World's Largest Pet Walk, a nationwide event hosted by Pet Partners, taking place on Saturday, September 28. This annual fundraiser invites pet lovers everywhere to walk with their furry friends in support of therapy animals and the amazing work Pet Partners does.


Pet Partners is the leading therapy animal organization, dedicated to improving human health and well-being through the power of animals. From hospitals to schools, their therapy animal teams provide comfort and healing to those who need it most. Their annual event, the World’s Largest Pet Walk, brings together pet owners across the country to raise awareness and funds for these life-changing programs.*
This week, the APPA team proudly hit the pavement with our pets to show our support for this incredible cause. Whether you’ve got a dog, cat, bird, or even a bunny, we encourage everyone to lace up those sneakers, grab your leash, and join the fun!
Together, we can make a difference—one step (and paw) at a time.
