Steps For Pets
Can you complete 360,000 steps in six weeks? Every step will help an animal in need.
Our step challenge offers something for everyone, so get your family and friends – even those with four legs – involved!
Walk or run a little every day (8,571 steps every day will complete the challenge!), or enjoy longer weekend walks as the weather improves, and help animals in need. Take part anywhere you choose – in a park, on a treadmill, anywhere you like to go for a walk.
Each year Together for Animals supporters:
- help 10,000 unwanted, abandoned or neglected animals find loving new homes
- provide 350,000 animals with free veterinary care and clinical support, saving them from suffering.
Our step challenge offers something for everyone, so get your family and friends – even those with four legs – involved!

Every step you take will help an animal in need.
