Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center will host its 33rd Annual Walk with the Animals fundraiser on Saturday, April 26, at Fairmount Park in Riverside from 9 a.m. to noon. 

The event, presented by DCH Subaru of Riverside, aims to raise critical funds for the care of homeless animals and support the center's community programs.

More than 1,500 pet lovers from throughout the Inland Empire typically attend. 

Additional activities include a vendor village, a children's area, a dog activity zone, pet contests, and raffle prizes featuring restaurant gift cards, event tickets, and local experiences. 

Fundraisers who collect donations of at least $250 will receive special incentives, according to event organizers. Major sponsors include DCH Subaru of Riverside, All Pro Cooling, Heating, Plumbing and Electrical, KATY-FM and VCA Animal Hospital.
