Run for their lives! The Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC) invites all pet enthusiasts and weekend adventurers to sign up for the annual Woofstock Survivor 5K & Dog Walk and raise funds for the Survivor Program.
HSHC is shaking up the scenery at an all-new location. Launch Fishers hosts HSHC on Aug. 9, with an exciting route for racers and their pets to enjoy.
The Woofstock Survivor 5K & Dog Walk welcomes all community members, from the power walkers to the marathon athletes, to join the fun with their furry friends in tow. All $55 registration fees provide essential medical care for HSHC’s most vulnerable animals.
As if saving lives wasn’t enough, every race participant also receives a T-shirt, swag bag, and a commemorative medal for their participation in the event. When all the racing is done, participants are invited to stick around to meet and greet with vendors and some of HSHC’s adoptable dogs.
HSHC claims a truly no-kill philosophy, representing a determination to take on the medical demands that come with rescuing animals who have faced extreme neglect, abandonment, and abuse. The Survivor Program ensures that every single sick or injured animal that comes to HSHC gets their chance at a second chance. This program funds the healing for HSHC’s most extreme cases and aids in saving animals at risk of euthanasia in surrounding shelters.
“It’s amazing to see how the Hamilton County community comes together through this event to help our most vulnerable animals every year,” HSHC Community Engagement Manager Emma Nobbe said. “Without their support for the Survivor Program, we could not provide the life-saving care that so many of our animals need to get the second chance they deserve.”
You can help by donating, registering for the race, or fundraising at WoofstockRocks.com. Fundraise at least $100 and receive a free race entry, T-shirt, and finisher medal. Top youth, individual, corporate, and team fundraisers will be awarded different prizes as well as overall 5K winners and age group winners.
The Woofstock Survivor 5K & Dog Walk is graciously sponsored by Curran Architecture, Four Day Ray, Current Publishing, Fetch Pet Insurance, Delta Faucet, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino, and WesBanco.
