Best Friends Walk: Pets Of The Homeless | November 9



Join Pets Of The Homeless for a heart-warming day of community, celebration, and wagging tails at their first-ever Best Friends Walk on Saturday, November 9, 2025

The event marks a decade of the organisation's incredible work in keeping vulnerable people and their pets together.

A Decade of Compassion


For the past 10 years, Pets Of The Homeless has been a lifeline for those facing hardship, providing essential pet food, veterinary care, and safe shelter. The Best Friends Walk is more than just a fundraiser; it's a celebration of the profound bond between people and their pets, and the community that makes the charity's mission possible.
"This milestone isn’t just about looking back on 10 years of impact," says Yvonne Hong, Founder and CEO of Pets Of The Homeless
"It’s about celebrating the community that makes our work possible—from the families and pets we’ve supported, to the volunteers, donors, and partners who believe every person deserves to stay with their best friend, no matter their circumstances."

Fun for the Whole Family (and Their Furry Friends)




Held at the beautiful Karkarook Park in Heatherton, the event promises a fun-filled day for everyone. You and your four-legged companion can enjoy a walk around Karkarook Lake, with a free goodie bag and doggy bandana waiting for you at the finish line.

The day also features fun competitions, raffle prizes, and a delicious sausage sizzle. Thanks to major sponsor Scratch, you can even grab a free barista-made coffee to fuel your walk. The event will be emceed by beloved TV and radio personality Myf Warhurst, a passionate ambassador for the organisation.
"This walk is the perfect way to come together as a community and give back," says Myf.
