September 6, 2024
PAWS, a local no-kill animal shelter, is hosting its annual 5K race at Montrose Harbor, where both humans and dogs can run or walk along a scenic lakefront route to raise funds for the shelter’s mission. After crossing the finish line, participants can enjoy live entertainment designed for both people and their furry companions, including a dog agility course and a "doggy oasis" complete with cooling pools. Don’t have a dog? No problem—there will be plenty of friendly pups for you to meet and pet!
