Event Description
Join us for a fun, furry 5K Run/Walk at Freedom Park with Almost Home Charities (AHC) and BARC Humane Society! Your dog is welcome to join you! The event name this year, "Lost Dog Found 5K," represents reuniting lost dogs with their owners - we will be offering microchipping on site for discounted rate of $25. This is a FUNdraising event to help this incredible, volunteer-run organization keep rescuing unwanted and unloved animals here in Lowndes and Brooks County to show them that there are people who care! AHC and BARC are 501(c)3 organizations that are dedicated to animal rescue. They rely solely on donations to support their work. Proceeds from this event will go directly to BARC to offset costs for rescue such as sponsor fees to pull shelter animals, food and supplies, microchips, medical care, and spaying and neutering. Help us to end animal overpopulation in South Georgia!
