Join AZ Paws and Claws Pet Fostering for the 7th Annual Racin' For Rescues 5K and 1 Mile event!
This pet friendly event will hit the paths at Freestone Park in Gilbert on October 7, 2023.
Millions of unwanted dogs and cats are put down every year in US shelters. We want to help change that! By participating in Racin’ for Rescues, you will help us find homes for these pets so they may find that loving family they’ve been waiting for. All of our volunteers are unpaid and willingly put themselves and their hearts on the line to save animals. The funds we collect will help us feed more hungry dogs and cats, provide needed emergency medical care, create more neuter/spay programs for the public and get one step closer to saving them all. To support their amazing work please considering giving at their donation page here!
