Can't Adopt? Get Involved!

My last post highlighted some ways you can find animals in search of homes in Colorado. I've decided to continue talking about the Larimer County Humane Society, specifically their upcoming funraiser.

On Saturday, May 10th, the Larimer County Humane Society will be holding it's 18th Annual Fire Hydrant 5. It's $25 a person to enter the 5K race or the 3K walk/fun run. Your pooch is also welcome to participate for another $5. All the money raised goes to the Humane Society. There are prizes available for those who win races and for the people who raise the most money by collecting donations.

As part of the Fire Hydrant 5, there will be a Pet Fair. The Pet Fair is a fun way for the family to have fun with their dogs. There will be Fido Photos, paw painting, a flyball demonstration, and more.

If you don't want to participate but would still like to help, volunteers are needed for the event for a number of positions. The Coloradoan did a quick run-down of what the Humane Society is looking for as far as volunteers.

For more information about this event or to register, visit the Larimer County Humane Society website.
