Our Cause

Proceeds will benefit “Tucker’s Fund” to provide emergency vet care to needy animals. This fund helps animals like Tucker, who was found with a crushed leg and brought to the shelter. His leg was so damaged and infected that it had to be amputated.Tucker quickly recovered from his surgery and acted like a new pup, running and jumping around on his 3 legs! A family fell in love with Tucker and took him home to join their household. Your participation will support more happy endings like Tucker’s!

T-Shirts Included

All pre-registered participants receive a "Good Dog" T-shirt (for humans). Sign up early to ensure you get the size you want!

Doggie Bandana Bonus!

The first 250 pre-registered entries also receive a "Good Dog" doggie bandana for their canine pal!
