AFHS 5K and Dog Jog

Animal Friends 5K & Dog Jog

For years, the Animal Friends 5K & Dog Jog has brought together runners, walkers, dog lovers, families, and community supporters for one of our favorite fundraising events of the year.

This event is more than a race. It is a fun, feel-good way to support the lifesaving work happening every day at Animal Friends Humane Society. Every registration, sponsorship, donation, and cheer from the sidelines helps provide food, shelter, medical care, enrichment, and second chances for animals in need.

Whether you are racing for a personal best, walking with friends, joining the Dog Jog with your pup, or simply coming out to support the shelter, you are helping make a difference for homeless animals in our community.

Thank you for joining us for making 2026 successful!

Whether you ran, walked, volunteered, sponsored, purchased a tribute sign, donated, or simply cheered others on, you helped make this year's event a wonderful success.

It was an incredible morning filled with community, compassion, and support for the animals who depend on us every day.

Together We Made an Impact

Thanks to your support, the 2026 5K & Dog Jog raised more than $18,373 for homeless animals in our care.

Every dollar helps provide food, shelter, veterinary care, and lifesaving programs for animals in need throughout our community.
