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.
We are excited for the return of our in-person Furry 5K, while still offering a virtual “run/walk anywhere” option for those who want to join in on the fun from your favorite trail, neighborhood or wherever you like. The 2022 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.
The health and safety of our staff, volunteers, supporters and community will always be our top priority, so stay tuned as we get closer to the event for more details regarding COVID-19 precautions.
