Furry 5K Fun Run and Walk

Join other animal lovers in the Seattle area to raise money for the Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation!

The Seattle Animal Shelter takes in thousands of stray and owner-surrendered animals each year. Many of these animals are in need of a new start, lots of love and often significant vet and behavioral care. Volunteers started the Furry 5K in 1999 to raise funds for the Seattle Animal Shelter’s veterinary needs. Today, the Furry 5K raises money for the Seattle Animal Shelter Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports the programs and initiatives of the Seattle Animal Shelter.

The 2023 Furry 5K Fun Run/Walk will be at Seward Park on Sunday, June 11, 2023. Join us to run or walk in support of the Help the Animals Fund at the Seattle Animal Shelter, which supports medical care for pets in need. When the race is over, stick around for our Pet-a-Palooza, which includes entertainment, festive music, awards, and an interactive vendor area.
