Description

PLEASE BE SURE READ OUR COVID19 SAFETY PROCEDURES

Join us for a fun, furry 5K Run/Walk at Freedom Park with Almost Home Charities (AHC) and BARC Humane Society! Your dog is welcome to join you! This is a FUNdraising event to help this incredible, volunteer-run organization keep rescuing unwanted and unloved animals here in Lowndes and Brooks County to show them that there are people who care! AHC and BARC are 501(c)3 organizations that are dedicated to animal rescue. They rely solely on donations to support their work. This event helps BARC offset costs for rescue such as sponsor fees to pull shelter animals, food and supplies, microchips, medical care, and spaying and neutering. Help us to end animal overpopulation in South Georgia!
