Shelter to Soldier Salute to Paws 5k & Gratitude Festival for Dogs
This fun-filled event aims to raise funds for Shelter to Soldier’s life-changing programs, which rescue dogs from local shelters and train them to become service animals for post-9/11 veterans suffering from PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, Military Sexual Trauma, and other injuries associated with traumatic service experiences.
Join Shelter to Soldier in their mission of “Saving Lives, Two at a Time,” with a morning of fitness, gratitude, and family fun, with or without your four-legged family members. Registration opens at 7:30 am, followed by an all-levels yoga flow at 8 am and 5K launch at 9 am. After your run, stay for the Gratitude Festival for Dogs to give your pup a “high paw” and a special thank you.
The Inaugural Gratitude Festival for Dogs is a can’t miss event for dog lovers, celebrating the beauty and unconditional love they bring to your world. The festival will feature live music, a beer and mimosa garden, vendors in the pet space, and special activities to express gratitude to your canine best friend for the joy they bring to your world. Visitors will also be able to meet and greet with adoptable dogs from Labs & More Rescue on “Rescue Row”, for those looking to add a faithful companion to their family.
