PawPals Endeavor 2026: Spoooky Edition
Second Annual PawPals 4 Life 5k

Presented by GetDisrupted.Org and Pawfields Enrichment Group
In-Person 5k: October 24, 2026 - Time to be determined

Race t-shirt guaranteed for those who register by September 1, 2026, or until sold out online. 

Run or Walk: It's entirely an off-road experience! In recognition of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. It is our demonstration and commitment to enrichment for paws of all kinds. Limited number of in-person participants allowed; act now to secure your spot in the race!

For our second annual PawPals Endeavor we are offering more activities that are bound to be a spoooky good time for PawRents and PawPals! This year proceeds will go to Disruptive Endeavors Inc. (dba GetDisrupted.Org) and a selected partner organization (to be announced).

We are on a mission to provide a fuller and more enriching life for our PawPals - a source of joy and comfort for us PawRents. With your participation and help we can accomplish this task, keeping our eyes peeled, ears tuned, noses up, and paws forward to a better tomorrow with hoomankinds’s best pals. If we have learned anything, it is this: River, Aston, and Nova are not “pets”; they are family, members of our household, our ride-or-dies, our PawPals for life. Our transition into PawRents taught us that enrichment was an essential part for their development and well-being; from engaging in their training as a bonding strategy to encouraging socialization as a way to reveal their personalities and create independence. Our PawPals require dedication from us as much as they dedicate themselves to us.

We aim to provide a space where PawRents and PawPals can come together for a PawFect cause: to instill hope in us all and help save lives while also encouraging social interaction among our friends. The Passion of life shown through Affection, Loyalty, and Service for one another — PawRents and PawPals alike.
