Each month we try to host a group run open to the public, where runners can come to the shelter and join our shelter volunteers in taking some pups out for a morning jog! These runs are in partnership with The Monster Milers. Snacks will be provided after the run. The runs are open to any and all runners, no matter your skill level.
