Peppertree Rescue, Inc is announcing its first ever Furry Fun Run: A 5K Run/Walk for Rescue. The run will be held on Saturday March 29, 2008 at the SUNY Albany Campus 1400 Western Avenue. This will be a rain or shine event.
The Furry Fun Run will benefit dogs in our care who are awaiting their forever homes and those dogs who are awaiting room within our program. Peppertree Rescue alters all dogs within our program as well as providing them with heartworm vaccination, or treatments as necessary, distemper, rabies and bordatella vaccines. We also provide other medical treatments that may be needed.
Peppertree Rescue is an all volunteer organization who rescues dogs of good temperament that need new homes. We cooperate with and assist other rescues, shelters and animal control. We also educate the public about how to obtain a companion animal.
Runners, walkers and their furry friends can pre-register by either going to the
www.peppertree.org
website, calling 518/435-7425 or if you would prefer you can email
ptfurryfunrun@gmail.com
. If you would prefer not to pre-register you can join us on March 29th at 8:15 at the SUNY Albany Campus. Runners take their marks at 9:00am. 9:15 runners with dogs will take their marks and at 9:30am Walkers with, or without dogs can begin the course. Following the walk we hope you will stay for the awards, prizes and refreshments that we will have on hand.
There will be a maximum of two dogs per individual. We respectfully request that any aggressive dogs be left at home. We reserve the right to turn away dogs who cannot get along well with others. You must be in control of your dog(s) at all times. Dogs MUST be up to date on their rabies vaccinations. No retractable leashes or leashes over 6 feet in length. You will be responsible for picking up after your own dog(s). Clean up material will be on hand for the day. The registration fee is $25.00 per person.
