Event Description

Lace up your running shoes and join us for the RVR Running for a Pawpose 5k! This charity run is a chance to enjoy a beautiful morning while making a tangible difference in the lives of animals in need. All proceeds from the event will go directly to Furry Tails Rescue, a local no-kill, foster-based dog rescue dedicated to saving abandoned and stray dogs.

The run will take place at 7 a.m. in Merritt Park in Dardanelle, AR. We'll have awards for the overall male and female runners and walkers.

Every step you take and every dollar you donate helps Furry Tails Rescue continue its vital work. Since its founding in 2014, this 100% volunteer-run organization has rescued and rehomed nearly 6,000 dogs. As a foster-based rescue, all dogs receive personalized care in loving homes, not kennels. The money raised from this event will help cover essential veterinary costs—from basic spay/neuter surgeries to more extensive treatments for heartworm and injuries. While the adoption fees only cover a fraction of these costs, your support helps bridge the financial gap and ensures that every dog gets a second chance at a happy, healthy life.

We will be collecting donations at the event for the following items, for every item you donate you will get an entry into our raffle for some of our wonderful prizes.

Together, we can make a difference—one paw at a time. We hope to see you there!
