Join Friends of Somerset Regional Animal Shelter as we come together to raise funds for the Cupid Fund. 

The Paws & Soles Saving Lives with Strides 5K Run/Walk and Fun Run is a major fundraiser for the Friends of Somerset Regional Animal Shelter (FOSRAS) and a wag of a great time! The annual event draws animal lovers from all over to share the day with and in honor of four-legged friends.
