NELR's First Annual Virtual 5K

Run Like a Lab!

This year we have been busier than ever. Thanks to all of your support and the numerous adoption inquiries, we were able to save more pups than ever before. In a year filled with change, we are thrilled to be able to connect so many people to the comforting gift of a dog’s love. To continue this momentum and to save more dogs, we are hosting our very first Virtual 5K!

• The Salty Whale Cohasset creates unique hand-crafted products out of local reclaimed antique wood. They are a husband and wife team with a passion and appreciation for the history of the region that they live in. They have always created their own home décor items and were inspired to start the business earlier this year after spending much more time at home as a result of the pandemic. Please check out their products at www.saltywhalecohasset.com as they aim to give local reclaimed wood a second life!
  
  
• The Black Dog brand was born out of one sailing Captain’s love for the sea, his island home, and of course, his dog. In 1971, Robert Douglas opened The Black Dog Tavern on Martha’s Vineyard, named after his canine companion “Black Dog.” The canine’s iconic silhouette soon began to appear on t-shirts, sweatshirts, & mugs.
