Welcome to our 2nd Annual:

P.A.W.S. & Pals 5K

Keep the mission going in a fun and meaningful way—register today and join us on Race Day for a morning with a purpose! By participating in our 5K event, you’ll help raise funds to cover the medical emergencies that often arise when we take in surrendered and abandoned pets.
