Beneficiary Information

All proceeds from the 5K and Dog Walk will benefit Home at Last Dog Rescue, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless dogs. We have no central location and every dog is in a foster home until adopted. Our mission is to provide an alternative to puppy mills and pet store dogs while ensuring each rescued dog finds their perfect forever home. We hope you'll join us for a day of fun and generosity!
