Don't forget the 5K.
Paws 4 You - SUNDAY'S SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:
This is the final stretch! If you still haven't registered, sign up now to walk or run for homeless pets this Sunday at 4pm. Each participant will receive a t-shirt, bandana, backpack, and medal. Register now at www.paws4you.org/5k
I am told there is much more fun; that there will be a full bar this year with 100% of its proceeds going to the dogs thanks to World of Beer - Dadeland and Barú Urbano. Food vendors and others will also donate a portion of their proceeds to rescue pups, so make sure to visit everyone! See the list of sponsors at www.paws4you.org/5ksponsorsvendors

Join
us on Sunday, April 26 for Paws 4 You Rescue's second ever Run FUR Fun
5K at the Killian Greens Golf Club located at 9980 SW 104th St.
Runners
will also participate in and enjoy a wonderful post-race expo with over
30 vendors and various food trucks, all to benefit Paws 4 You,
Miami-Dade County’s premier dog rescue organization.
Paws 4 You
is a non-profit, 501C (3) which relies on individual contributions from
the community it serves to take care of close to 100 homeless dogs as
they await permanent adoptions. The purpose of the Run-FUR-Fun 5K is to
raise money for the new Paws 4 You “retreat” and to continue develop
awareness for the hundreds of dogs on the streets and in Miami Dade
Animal Services who need loving homes.
The Run-FUR-Fun 5K will
give us all the opportunity to enjoy an exciting outdoor event with our
own dogs and families while raising funds to support a very important
cause. In order to make this an amazing event, we need you! Here is a
link to view the pictures of last year's race. http://paws4you.smugmug.com/Events/RunFurFun2014
Event officials have taken the next step and are working with Split Second
Timing to make this 2015 race an officially timed race. They will also provide
all online support for the runners as well as providing online
registration.
