The Friends of the Shelter event is a significant annual fundraiser dedicated to supporting dogs in need. Participants can either run or walk, with all proceeds directly contributing to medical care for sick and injured dogs at the Franklin County Dog Shelter & Adoption Center. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, the entirety of funds raised, including race fees, sponsorships, and pledges, is used to support this cause. This event plays a crucial role in offering much-needed assistance to vulnerable canines, emphasizing the community's commitment to animal welfare through active participation in sports.
