Dacula, Ga. — Animal rescue organization Canine Pet Rescue (CPR) hosts its Halloween Howl 5K/1K run on Saturday, October 8, 2022. This event takes place at Little Mulberry Park in Dacula and is a qualifier for the Peachtree Road Race.

Runners are encouraged to participate in this fifth annual Canine Pet Rescue fundraiser/Halloween Howl event, and 100% of entrance fees go towards saving dogs, rehabilitating, housing, and placing them in new loving homes.

The Halloween Howl is SPOOKtacular fun for the whole family! Costumes are encouraged but optional. Prizes are awarded for the best Kid, Adult, and Dog costumes. The award ceremony takes place after the race.

The 5K starts promptly at 8 a.m. The 1K Fun Run begins at 9 a.m. Runners, walkers, strollers, and all furbabies are welcome! Dogs in attendance must be current on all vaccines, including rabies, wear an ID Tag, be on a 6-foot or less leash (no retractable leashes) and be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Proceeds from the event benefit Canine Pet Rescue and support ongoing operations, including veterinary care for dogs in the rescue. Carla Brown, President and Chief Dog in Charge of Canine Pet Rescue, states, “The majority of the money spent by Canine Pet Rescue goes to veterinary bills. The dogs we rescue have typically been out on their own for a while and have expensive health issues that need to be addressed before we can place them in their forever homes.”

A special thanks to all event sponsors, including Diamond sponsor Rebecca Kay Sapp Law Firm. Other sponsors include Denim Marketing, Trenz Shirt Company and A.L. Grading, The Blalock Agency, Akins Ford, Gary Martin Hays, AllStar Logistics, Bobbi & Roberta Cromlish, Phyllis Miller Attorney, Southeastern Sign, Printing Trade Company, Southern Classic Realtors, Bobby Howard & Sherrye Bebe and Animal Care Hospital and Bold Springs.

As a 501c3 non-profit organization, Canine Pet Rescue survives and thrives on donations. It focuses on saving German Shepherds from high-kill shelters in the South but also takes in other breeds. Dogs that enter the Canine Pet Rescue facilities are crate trained, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and treated with flea and heartworm preventative care. Once given primary care and treatment, the dogs are given an extensive temperament evaluation and offered for adoption.
