Rules and Recommendations for Walkers
- Limit to one dog per walker/runner.
- Participating dogs must be at least 4 months old
- Keep your dog on a six foot or shorter leash to prevent entanglements (no retractable leashes, please)
- It’s okay to walk your pet at a moderate pace. A Cause 4 Paws is designed to be fun, not competition
- Please do not bring cats or any other animals who may be at risk around dogs
- Use good judgment. Please do not bring a pet that will be frightened or is a risk to other animals or humans
- Please be sure that your dogs’ vaccinations are up to date and that ID tags are worn
- Please do not bring dogs in heat
- Please be responsible and clean up after your dog
- Event officials reserve the right to refuse entry to any animal
- If your dog is not already spayed or neutered, SBCACF encourages you to have your dog fixed. Because of our local pet overpopulation problem, spaying or neutering your pet helps to make a difference and also has many health benefits

Why form a Pledge Walk Team?
Fun ♥ Competition ♥ Recognition
- Your company, union, school, association or club can form a Pledge Walk Team with as few as two members or as many as your entire group.
- Pledge Walk Teams offer local groups an opportunity to collaborate to make an active difference in their community while boosting morale and promoting teambuilding.
- We encourage creative and fun competition between the teams: wear company shirts, make banners, hold a fundraiser at the office, and invite friends and family to join your team.
- Compete for the Golden Biscuit Trophy. This annual traveling award is given to the Pledge Walk Team that raises the most money per person and shows the most creativity during our Pledge Walk.
