As a proud momma of Fred, my rescue dog, I am so thankful that there was a place for him to go to get medical care after he was found roaming the streets, covered in blood after being shot while lose on the streets of California. Without this, he would never have found us, his family.   I'm running this race to contribute to this organization, so that other dogs can be as lucky as Fred was.   (Our adoption wasn't affiliated through them, but I really admire any organization that helps out pets in need).  If you would like to help in any way and are able to do so, I really appreciate it!
