Event Description

Join other animal lovers in the Seattle area to raise money for the Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation!

The Seattle Animal Shelter takes in thousands of stray and owner-surrendered animals each year. Many of these animals are in need of a new start, lots of love and often significant vet and behavioral care. Volunteers started the Furry 5K in 1999 to raise funds for the Seattle Animal Shelter’s veterinary needs. Today, the Furry 5K raises money for the Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports the programs and initiatives of the Seattle Animal Shelter.

After two years, we are returning to an in-person event. The 2022 Furry 5K Fun Run/Walk will be at Seward Park on Sunday, June 12, 2022. Registration will open in early March. Join us to run or walk in support of the Help the Animals Fund at the Seattle Animal Shelter, which supports medical care for pets in need.

The health and safety of our staff, volunteers, supporters and community will always be our top priority, so stay tuned as we get closer to the event for more details regarding COVID-19 precautions.
