Shepherds for Sheepdogs is a 501(c)3 located in Lenoir, NC whose purpose is to purchase professionally trained service dogs for disabled veterans and first responders! 100% of the proceeds goes to the dog and hero pair! We’d be honored to have you celebrating our fifth year with us. Join us and the City of Lenoir Parks and Rec as we continue to 'serve those who served'.
Get ready to walk, run, or race all while getting blasted with color in this vibrant event. This fresh splash of family and dog fun will take place on the City of Lenoir Greenway. The race will start and finish at the Lenoir Rotary Soccer Complex parking lot. Both races will begin with a color party, the Pup Run course will have an additional 2 color points and the Big Dawg will have 4.
