AHF 5k and 3k Run/Walk is Almost Here!

Hi, I'm Franklin, one of the dogs up for adoption at the Almost Home Foundation. It's been "ruff" not having a forever home, but YOU can help make the work that the wonderful volunteers do for us animals a little easier. Come on out Sunday, September 23 for AHF's 2nd Annual Running for Rescue 5k and 3k Dog Run/Walk at Hamilton Lakes Park. It won't cost much to sign up--just $40 for adults--and the dogs and humans who went last year told me that they had a great time.

In addition to the adult 5k run and and 3k family dog walk, there'll be a kids' fun run, awesome games, and music, too! You can even shop at the Bark Bazaar for pet products and pet-themed gifts for you and your pet.

ALL of the money collected from the race goes to the care and feeding of the animals. (We promise to share with the cats, too). There are over 100 dogs and cats at Almost Home right now, which adds up to a lot of kibble! Sometimes we need shots and need other medical attention, but Almost Home's volunteers always look out for us.

You should also know that AHF is a no-kill animal shelter with an all volunteer staff. I just love no-kill shelters, don't you?  

To participate in the run/walk event, please visit www.running4rescue.org and click on the register button. Registration will remain open until September 22. The website also has information for people who want to volunteer during the event as well as for vendors. I wish you could see my tail wagging at the thought of all the humans and their dogs coming out to help us!
