Tails ‘n Trails 5K
Join us for Left Behind K-9 Rescue's 5th Annual Tails 'n Trails 5K! Normally, Tails ‘n Trails brings us all together at Lake Wilderness Park but this year we are going virtual! This means you’ll be able to pick your own time and place to complete your 5K.
LBK9 Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organized to save the lives of homeless pets through our wide range of programs. We specialize in lifesaving medical cases that come our way through our shelter and veterinary partners. We take in homeless dogs of all size, temperament, and age. From the moment they are rescued until the time they are adopted, they are loved and cared for by their foster families.
The pandemic has affected us all and Left Behind is no exception. Despite fundraising challenges, we have not slowed down our efforts to support our four-legged companions in-need. Throughout the past six months, we haven’t stopped rescuing dogs like Scotty, who came to us after he got hit by a car, Bean, who needed immediate surgery to avoid a life-threatening infection, and Muppet who underwent extensive amputation and pelvic repair surgery.
Fundraising events like Tails ‘n Trails are vital to the success of our operation and to the lives of Scotty, Bean, Muppet, and countless others. We need your support now more than ever. Below, you can register for the 5K run/walk or donate to others’ campaigns. Help us reach our goal of raising $25,000 so we can continue our lifesaving programs through the pandemic and beyond.
