Hello Again Friends!!!

SAVE OUR DATE for 2024!  It will be our 10th annual (and final) Friends of Jupiter Pet Walk.

We hope to see you once again at Boyce Park to help animals in need on

SUNDAY, APRIL 28, 2024! 

We can't THANK YOU enough for all the support!!!! 

Our Story:

The Friends of Jupiter Pet Walk is inspired by Jupiter, a 5 pound, then 3-year-old Maltese, who was saved from a horrible life at a puppy mill by Northcentral Maltese Rescue Inc. It became Jupiters and his new family's mission to help save even more animals in need!  Due to the support from many local business sponsors, both human and furry participants and generous donations both locally and nationwide, Friends of Jupiter has raised over $42,000! Donations received went and will continue to go toward the care and veterinary expenses of the rescues at Northcentral Maltese Rescue and other local Rescues and Shelters.

 

A portion of our proceeds will go to LOCAL Pittsburgh RESCUES and SHELTERS that are our guests at the walk!

2024 Guests:

Among the Wildflowers Sanctuary

Shelter's Helpers of Pittsburgh

Drews Crew Wild at Heart Animal Rescue

East Coast Bulldog Rescue

Animal Lifeline Pittsburgh

They Deserve Better Dog Rescue

This family friendly event at Boyce Park includes a one-mile non-competitive walk. Fundraising activities will include a basket raffle, 50/50 and pet photos.  There will also be a pet related vendor table area and the presence of Pittsburgh area Rescues and Shelters with adoptable pets. We will also be collecting items from Jupiters Wish List that will be donated to our Rescue guests in attendance.  

 

There are several ways to join the fun!

  • Be a participant! You can walk with or without a dog! In person or virtually! Does your dog not do well at events, do you have a pet other than a dog, or have you had a special pet cross to Rainbow Bridge? We have options for you to walk in Honor of or in Memory of your special friend. Register online by clicking REGISTER!

  • Consider donating funds, tangible items, or choosing one of our sponsorship levels. 100% of your donation is tax deductible.

  • Make a monetary donation. Your donation of $10, $20 or any amount will go directly to Northcentral Maltese Rescue's work to help other dogs in need and place them in loving forever homes. 100% of your donation is tax deductible. You can make your donation online or by mail.  Please find more information by clicking OUR DONORS.

So many animals  are counting on your support to continue to make this event a success. The more “Friends of Jupiter” we can make, the more support we can provide to Northcentral Maltese Rescue and local Rescues and Shelters in need!

Thank you so much!
