14TH ANNUAL BARNEY'S RUN FOR WARRIORS
RESCUE TWO LIVES- a veteran and a dog! We are proud supporters of K9s for Warriors based in Ponte Vedra, Florida. Proceeds from our race purchase a highly trained service dog for an area veteran. Ninety five percent of the dogs trained by K9s are rescued from shelters with high kill rates. The veterans that graduate from the K9s for Warriors program are able to resume a more normal life.
