Speed demons can crush the chip-timed 5K, while tail-waggers enjoy the laid-back 1.5-mile Dog Jog complete with medals, swag, and Flubs ice cream treats. Not feeling sporty? Come for the race party, snacks, and maybe leave with a new furry best friend.

Testimonials
This is a very busy place, so don’t expect to be in and out fast. However, this isn’t a bad thing. The staff are always nice, and they do their best to be fast and keep things moving. I also will forever be grateful for them letting me adopt such a precious little dog. I highly recommend this place.
The staff gets to know each animal which makes them able to advise a good fit for you and your family. They are very dedicated to providing the best life possible for the animals while in their care.
Thank you to our sponsors!
