Join us for the inaugural Pawsitive Hearts Run for Rescues 5k! This race will take place virtually from May 25, 2021, through May 31, 2021.
Pawsitive Hearts is a 501c3 foster-based dog rescue. We operate within a 1-hour radius of both Zanesville and Columbus, Ohio. Our mission is to prevent euthanasia and save the lives of as many dogs as we can by removing them from overcrowded shelters. This 5k race is one of our annual fundraisers that allow us to provide spay/neuter surgeries, vaccines, emergency surgeries, and all needed foster supplies for all of our dogs at no cost to the foster. Without volunteers and community support, we would never be able to complete our mission. Thank you for your support!
All participants who register for the Pawsitive Hearts Run for Rescues 5k will receive swag bag that includes the following:
Participants also have the option to add on a t-shirt for an additional $20. This is completely optional, but if you would like to add a t-shirt and support our fantastic cause, you can do so within the registration process!
