Last year animal lovers came from all walks of life to make the fifth annual Race For The Rescues a huge success.
They came to be the voice for homeless animals.
They came to celebrate & give the gift of life♥



In the past five years, Race For The Rescues raised over $400,000 to help support a variety of non-profit rescue groups and animal welfare Foundations. Once again we are proud to say not one dog or cat from this adoption day went back to a city shelter to face euthanasia. Help us meet our goal this year to send those city shelter trucks back EMPTY!
