Running for forever homes

OUR MISSION

Run For The Dogs is dedicated to increasing the adoptability of shelter dogs through the power of running.

South African shelters are filled with dogs deemed "un-homeable" for being too high-energy or reactive.

For most of the pups, these traits stem from living in a stressful shelter environment. 

A 5km run, outside of their shelter, gives the dogs an opportunity to burn off their anxiety and showcase their unique and spunky selves.

Join a run with us and give a shelter dog a chance at finding a home.
