About the furry scurry
32 YEARS OF CHANGING LIVES
We are thrilled to see Furry Scurriers walk in support of homeless animals across Colorado every year. We hope you and your friends will take to the trails with us to help the animals in our care find loving homes to call their own.
When you support us, you are making our work possible. In 2024 we...
- Served over 7,000 animals through vaccine clinics in priority neighborhoods across the Denver Metro Area
- Reached over 13,000 children and adults through our Humane Education programs
- Provided over 300,000 nights of safety to vulnerable animals in the community
- And so much more!
HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE
- WHAT IS THE FURRY SCURRY?
The Furry Scurry is an annual, two-mile walk to support our vital mission of ending pet homelessness and animal suffering. Known as our signature fundraiser, this event helps our organization provide specialized and compassionate care for animals who need it most.
Each year, more than 20,000 homeless pets and horses come through our doors in need of warm shelter, nourishment, and medical attention—your Furry Scurry registration fee, as well as any additional funds you raise, make these essential services possible for every animal in our care. Thanks to our generous community, we were able to make an incredible impact for animals in 2024.
Our 2024 Furry Scurry celebration included exciting new activities, including one-of-a-kind contests and a Flealess Market filled with goodies for the special pet in your life.
Register today so that you don’t miss all that our 2025 event has in store!
- WHERE CAN I PARTICIPATE?
The in-person Furry Scurry will take place in beautiful Washington Park, located in Denver, Colorado. If you would prefer to scurry from home or are otherwise unable to join us in person, just register, pick the location of your choice, and walk with us remotely! A park, a trail, a neighborhood path, or even a backyard are all wonderful ways to take part in this year’s event!
- WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN?
We’d love for you to join us in person at Washington Park on Saturday, May 3, 2024, but you can also walk remotely. More details coming soon!
HAPPY TALES OF HAPPY TAILS
Every animal who comes to us has a special story. Stories we feel honored to learn, share, and transform for the better.
CONFIDENCE IN CONFIDENCE ALONE
Don first met Lucky at the Dumb Friends League in 2022, a time when he was reeling from the tragic loss of two significant relationships – his wife of nearly 64 years in 2016 and, more recently, his beloved dog, Wilson. Feeling the need for a new companion in his life, Don came to the League and immediately fell in love with Lucky, a sweet but timid Labrador retriever who had recently arrived at our doors.
