All proceeds from the race will benefit Paws Rescue League, Inc. and will help rescue dogs, pay for urgent medical care, etc. Additionally, there will be vendors, food, and lots of pups at the event! Depending on availability, PRL may also have some adoptable pups with us to cheer on the participants!!
Kids 12 and under are able to participate for free and do not need to register in advance (t-shirts & official times are only available for paid entrants, and t-shirts are only guaranteed if registered prior to 7/15/24). The event will take place rain or shine, and registration fees are a non-refundable donation to Paws Rescue League, Inc.
Paws Rescue Leagues mission is to save dogs that are abused, neglected, or discarded. Most of the dogs we save are in kill shelters, facing euthanasia due to no fault of their own. These dogs are most times, young, healthy and good dogs who deserve a second chance. We are an all-inclusive, foster-based, 501(c)(3) dog rescue and strive to find the best home possible for each dog we save. We believe each and every dog deserves a fighting chance and a family of their own. We wish to give these dogs and our adopters many happy and fulfilling years with each other!
Please note: This event is open to everyone (all ages and locations!), however Paws Rescue League, Inc. does not currently adopt dogs to MA or ME residents due to strict quarantine laws set by the state.
