Steps For Pets in Altona saw a rise in the number of participants joining in on the 3km walk from last year.

The walk took place on Saturday, June 9th at the Altona Centennial Park and twelve dogs with their owners came out to help raise money for the Pembina Valley Humane Society.

Each participant had to collect pledges from family and friends and hand them in right before the walk started.

Both youth and adults who pledged more than $50.00 were entered into a draw for a Fitbit and a Boston Pizza gift card. The top team received a free lunch at Boston Pizza.

Organizers were very grateful for the amount of people who showed up to help raise money for the Humane Society and thank each one who came out to make it a success.
