ARF 5k RUN & WALK With The DOGS 2024

Short review

STATEMENT REGARDING COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus) The Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF) is closely monitoring the developments related to COVID-19. Our top priorities are the health and safety of our participants, volunteers, sponsors, vendors and supporters. As a result, we had to cancel our physical event scheduled for May 17 at Memorial Park, Beacon, NY.  We invite you to join our VIRTUAL 5k GO THE SOCIAL DISTANCE With ARF! ARF 5k RUN & WALK the SOCIAL DISTANCE   Animal Rescue Foundation is a no-kill, all volunteers, animal rescue and shelter located in Beacon New York. Since our founding in 1986, we rescue, rehabilitate, shelter and find forever homes for thousands of cats and dogs. Many of our dogs are rescued from kill shelters and relocated to ARF via Pilots and Paws or a ground transport network. All of ARF’s animals are vet checked, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered before adoption and we house and care for those that need more time to find just the right forever home. For some, elderly animals and those with disabilities or medical conditions, where adoption is unlikely, we provide permanent care so they can live out their lives safely and comfortably.
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we depend on fundraising events like this and donations to continue our work. This 5k Run & Walk With The Dogs is Beacon's only nonprofit sporting event dedicated to saving animals' lives. On this day, animal lovers and athletes of all ages lace up and hit the pavement in support of ARF where 100% of the profits goes to the Animal Rescue Foundation.
