🏃‍♂️ Shelter Dog Dash 5K and 1M

To get to the finish line you can run, walk, jog...or Dash for a Shelter Dog!!

One Love is delighted to bring you our fourth annual 5k or 1 Mile, Run/Walk event which will take place on February 15, 2025 at Freestone Park in Gilbert.

We are excited to bring the community together to raise funds benefiting the homeless dogs of Maricopa County. Every dollar we raise helps save lives!

So, if your goal for 2025 is giving back…consider this a sign. Get yourself registered and meet us at the starting line!

One Love is a nonprofit organization that utilizes forward-thinking programs to rescue and rehabilitate at-risk dogs, advocate for shelter animals, and provide free spay + neuter services. Our team is made up of passionate and dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to improve the lives of homeless dogs.

🐶 Volunteer Engagement

The majority of our volunteers are also registered at our local municipal shelters. This allows them to make regular trips to the shelter where they spend time with our sponsored dogs.

  • Activities: Volunteers will bathe, walk, and play with the dogs several times per week.

💖 Beneficiary Programs

Here are some of the programs this fundraiser will benefit:

  • Shelter Dog Program: Established in 2015 to assist local shelters with pit bull-type dogs who are at risk and/or longtime residents.
  • VIP Program: Our Very Important Pitties are often shelter dogs with extensive medical needs beyond what the shelter can address.
  • Targeted Clinics: We hold regular FREE spay/neuter and vaccination clinics for pit bull-type dogs in our community.
  • Pools for Pups: This program helps provide free play pools for local pet owners with dogs living outdoors.
