The Howl-O-Ween Mutt Run isnt just an event on our calendar its a mission in motion. Every step we take, every dollar we raise, provides the lifesaving care for the 900 dogs we rescue each year.
This year, we reached an incredible milestone: our 16,000th dog rescued. These dogs faced an empty future and now have loving homes, warm beds, and a second chance. But for thousands more in Southern California, the fight is far from over. Many dogs are still trapped in overcrowded, heartbreaking shelter conditions, where the only way out is euthanasia.
We house the dogs we save at our Rescue Ranch Care Center where hope begins the moment they arrive. Each dog receives medical treatment, nourishing food, exercise, training, and most of alllove. Every day, over 150 dogs who once had nowhere to turn are safe because of Your Generosity!
When you run, youre not just crossing a finish lineyoure crossing a lifeline.
Youre giving a dog the one thing they want most: A Future To Howl About!
Help us reach our goal of raising $115,000 so we can continue this life saving mission.
