Two 5Ks in May to Help Homeless Pups

Do you like running and walking? Do you like helping homeless pups? This month there are two great 5K races that help homeless pups here in Charlotte!
The first one is Pet Palooza on May 15th that benefits the Humane Society of Charlotte. In addition to the run and walk, there is also a great pet festival afterwards with refreshments, entertainment, and lots of great vendors. It's at Independence Park, off of Hawthorne Lane. You can sign up ahead of time at this link or you can register the morning of starting at 8:30am. Don't like running or walking? That's OK, head on out to just the festival.
The next weekend, you can run for homeless pets again. The Great Harvest Bread Co. 5K is on May 22nd and benefits Animal Care and Control. The race begins and ends at the Great Harvest Bread Company at the Shops at Piper Glen. They need runners and volunteers, so even if you aren't a runner, there is something for everyone. To register for the race, follow this link. Want to volunteer, send an email to volunteerGH5K@hotmail.com.
Such great things to do for pups this month!!
