Thank you to everyone who joined us for Paws & Feet yesterday! We had a wonderful time spending the day with all of you. Whether you ran your first 5k, your best 5k, or you were here to enjoy a beautiful (albeit windy) day in the park, you helped us get one step closer to achieving our mission of ending animal homelessness. More photos and fundraising updates to come.
