PAWS With a Cause provides trained working dogs for individuals who need them. Whether someone has a physical, medical, or emotional need, PAWS' dogs are raised by volunteer foster puppy raisers before beginning the formal process of becoming a working dog.
These crucial programs are possible thanks to events like the annual PAWS in the Park 5K, a dog-friendly run and walk that raises money to continue their mission. This year's 5K and one-mile fun run will be held at Millennium Park in Grand Rapids on Thursday, August 6 beginning at 6:30 P.M.
Participants of all abilities are invited to participate as well as their pets. Games, community vendors, food trucks, as well as a beer and beverage garden will also be present. Registration begins at 5 P.M. that evening.
Registration is $45 per participant. Sidney Baxter, PAWS' Marketing and Communications Manager, visited the Morning Mix with service pup Champion to talk about the event.
