🐾✨ PAWS FOR A CAUSE
We’re honored to partner once again with Pasadena Humane—an organization that continues to show up when animals need it most.
From rescuing and caring for animals in crisis to stepping in during last year’s devastating fires, their team has given thousands of animals safety, healing, and a second chance at life.
With every step you take in this challenge, you’re part of that mission. A portion of each entry goes directly toward helping provide shelter, medical care, and love to animals still waiting for their forever homes.
Because this is bigger than miles…
it’s about giving hope, healing, and second chances. 💛🐾
Run. Walk. Make a difference—one mile at a time.
Join our Dog Lovers from across the country!
