Running For Rescues Animal rescue in Middletown, CT

RUNNING FOR RESCUES IS A NON-PROFIT DEDICATED TO FUNDING SMALL GRASSOOTS ORGANIZATIONS & INDIVIDUALS AROUND THE COUNTRY, WHICH RESCUE SHELTER ANIMALS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE NEEDLESSLY EUTHANIZED. MORE SPECIFICALLY, WE WILL PAY FOR VETTING, SPAY/NEUTER & TRANSPORTATION OF THESE ANIMALS. WE REACH OUT TO THE RUNNING COMMUNITY TO NETWORK & FUNDRAISE FOR US BY CHALLENGING THEMSELVES WITH ANY RACE OR DISTANCE THEY CHOOSE. WE ALSO INVITE NON-RUNNERS TO MAKE A HEALTHY LIFE-STYLE CHOICE BY COMMITTING TO COMPLETING A LOCAL 5K – INSPIRING PEOPLE AROUND THEM TO DONATE & PERHAPS BEGIN AN EXERCISE PROGRAM THEMSELVES.
