🚴‍♀️🐾 Pedal for Paws 2026! What an Incredible Day! 🐾🚴‍♂️

Pedal for Paws is so much more than a fun bike ride through Muskegon County. It’s a celebration of community, compassion, collaboration, and our shared commitment to helping animals in need. ❤️

This year, we were incredibly proud to bring together four amazing animal rescue organizations:
🐾 Big Lake Humane Society
🐾 Pound Buddies
🐾 Heaven Can Wait Animal Haven
🐾 Faithful To Felines

From helping families keep their beloved pets during difficult times, to rescuing animals who have been abandoned, to advocating for cats and dogs who might otherwise be overlooked; these organizations make an incredible difference every single day.
And Pedal for Paws is possible because our community believes in that mission. 🫶

❤️ We want to send the BIGGEST THANK YOU to everyone who made Pedal for Paws 2026 possible!

🏍️ A huge thank you to Hot Rod Harley-Davidson and Tallies & Tailpipes - TNT Bar for their incredible support and for serving as our main event hub!

🙌 To ALL of our amazing volunteers...
