Paw It Forward Summer 5K – Run for Relief

🗓 Saturday, September 6th, 2025 | 9:00 AM start time.

    Registration begins at 8:15 AM.

Join us for our inaugural Paw It Forward 5K, hosted by Oviedo Veterinary Care and Emergency, to raise funds for our Paw It Forward Fund — a donor-supported program helping pet owners in crisis afford emergency, life-saving veterinary care.

🏃‍♀️ Run or Sponsor:
All runner registration fees directly support the Paw It Forward Fund. Not a runner? You can sponsor a hospital employee — every $5 donated made in an employee's name enters that employee into a raffle drawing!

To sponsor an employee with your donation, head to the "Donate" page, enter your amount, and select "Other" under "On behalf of" to type the employee's name and enter them in our raffle.

💛 About the Fund:
The Paw It Forward Fund provides limited, case-by-case financial assistance for pet owners facing sudden, significant hardship. While not guaranteed or universally available, it offers support in moments where even a small contribution can make a life-saving difference for a beloved pet.

Every step, every dollar, every act of compassion helps a pet in need. Together, we can give hope, give help — and paw it forward. 

Thank you for being a part of this mission of compassion and care!
