Heart & Sole Walk for Animals
Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 18, 2025, when hundreds of animal lovers (and their dogs!) will come together at Fort Adams State Park in Newport, RI to walk, celebrate, and make a difference for pets in need.
Now in its 36th year, the Potter League’s Heart & Sole Walk for Animals is a cherished tradition—and our biggest fundraiser of the year. This dog-friendly event features a scenic group walk, live music, a vibrant sponsor and vendor marketplace, food trucks, fun activities for kids and pups, exciting contests, and a festive atmosphere celebrating the bond between animals and the people who love them.
Help Animals in Need
Funds raised through the walk support vital programs at the Potter League, including adoption, foster care, spay/neuter, affordable veterinary care, animal rescue, and more. Your participation helps save lives and build a more humane Rhode Island.
Earn Prizes
Walkers who register and raise $50 or more will receive an official event t-shirt and additional prizes based on fundraising totals. Compete for the title of Top Fundraiser or Top Fundraising Team—and help animals while having fun!
Celebrate the Community
Whether you’re walking for a beloved pet, forming a team with friends or coworkers, or simply showing your support, the Heart & Sole Walk is a joyful day of connection, compassion, and community.
Stay tuned—details and registration coming soon!
