Ready, set, adopt! In celebration of the Furry 5K, adoption fees will be WAIVED June 12–14! Whether you’re crossing the finish line or cheering from the sidelines, there’s no better time to bring home a new best friend. Our shelter pets are ready to sprint straight into your heart and their forever homes. Come meet your perfect match and make this a weekend worth running for!

The featured pup is Max. Max is an 8 year old German Shepard who LOVES to play with tennis balls and squeaky toys. His favorite thing is to dig through our toy bin and select his toy of the day to walk around with in his mouth!
