Run for Rover will take place this year on Sunday, July 13. All pet lovers should join this event to help raise money for Pet Emergency Fund (PEF). PEF is hoping to raise $20,000 this year at Run for Rover, which is the largest event PEF holds all year.
The PEF was founded by local veterinarians to assist pet owners who could not afford veterinary care expenses. However, PEF’s main purpose is to provide otherwise healthy pets with a one-time intervention for a life-threatening situation.
In addition to the race, there will also be games and contests, such as a pet costume contest and a pet/owner look-alike contest. Additionally there will be refreshments, face painting, a caricature artist, complimentary dog wash, pet masseuse, animal celebrities, non-alcoholic canine beer, canine ice cream, live music, a professional pooper-scooper, and pet psychic Renee Karen.
Registration for the race will begin at 8:30 AM, with the race start ing at 10 AM. The first and second place winners in their age groups will be awarded medals. The 1K walk with pets starts at 11 AM, and the pet costume and pet look-alike contests begin at 11:30 AM. For entry forms and more information about the event, contact Timm Otterson at timmotterson@yahoo.com.
There is still time to register for this worthy cause.
