Join us for the Potter League’s 36th annual Heart & Sole Walk for Animals, a beloved community tradition and one of our largest fundraising events of the year.

REGISTER & START FUNDRAISING HERE

Hundreds of animal lovers and their four-legged companions will come together for a fun-filled day featuring a scenic walk along Narragansett Bay, our Flea-Less Marketplace, food trucks, family-friendly activities, music, entertainment and more.

More than a walk, Heart & Sole is an opportunity to come together and make a difference for animals and the people who love them. Every dollar raised helps support the Potter League’s work throughout the year, providing shelter, veterinary care, behavior support, adoption services and community programs throughout Rhode Island.

Walk With Us

Walk on your own, gather your family and friends, or start a team and make every step count.
