We are hosting our 22nd annual 5K Race & 1-Mile Dog Walk on Saturday, October 5th, 2024, at the Wake Forest College Birthplace, Historical District. We would LOVE your support at our event so we can continue the mission of saving lives of homeless cats and dogs in “our” community.
We do this by rescuing animals from local high-kill shelters and providing much-needed emergency medical care, surgeries, vaccinations, spays & neuters, micro-chipping, food, and lots of TLC through our foster program until they are placed in loving adoptive homes. Paws for Life NC has been dedicated to our community since 2002 and with your help we can make 2024 a great year for even more animals!
