Jr's Paws For a Cause is a dog-friendly 5k run/walk for participants of all ages. We will have vendors, a live DJ and adoptable dogs from Shultz Guest House and Last Hope K9!

The family-friendly walk/run is an event where your canine friend can participate too! Proceeds at this event, as well as our fundraising efforts are being donated to Project Samana, a veterinary outreach program that works in the Dominican Republic. They provide necessary medical and surgical services to the animals in the region and share animal health education for both pet owners and veterinarians. The other portion of the proceeds will be donated in Junior's (Jr's) name to the Kyle's Legacy Cancer Research. Junior was a 6 year old Labrador retriever who lost his battle to lymphoma. Proceeds will also go local dog rescues Last Hope K9 and Shultz Guest House.
