Join us on Saturday, November 16, 2024 for our Inaugural Salute to Paws 5K and Gratitude Festival for Dogs at NTC Park Liberty Station. The picturesque views of the iconic park will be the perfect start to your morning walking or running the 5K! Stay after the run for the Gratitude Festival for Dogs to give your pup a “high paw” and a special thank you for the love they bring to your world. The festival will feature live music, vendors in the pet space, and special activities to share your gratitude with your canine best friend. Our Rescue Row will feature adoptable dogs from Labs and More in case you’re looking to add a faithful companion to your family.

Featuring dozens of community partners and vendors, our Gratitude Festival for Dogs is a dog’s-day-out you’re not going to want to miss! Together, we aim to make a lifesaving impact in the lives of the rescue dogs and veterans served by our programs at Shelter to Soldier.

Can’t attend on November 16th? Assemble a fundraising team and walk virtually to support our mission of “Saving Lives, Two at a Time.”
