Walk 2 Miles 2 Save Lives is a walk-a-thon event dedicated to fundraising for rescue organizations and shelters. Those that decide to participate in the walk will donate a fee (minimum $20, $10 per mile) to walk for rescues and will be encouraged to invite their dog lover friends to sponsor them along the way. There will be prizes for participants and Team Captains.

The funds will be distributed accordingly between each dog rescue organization and raise awareness of the amazing work they do and the importance of adopting.

Home For Good Rescue: We socialize, care for, and provide rescue dogs with life-saving medical care at our Wellness Center in Aiken, South Carolina, transport them to New Jersey, and nurture them in our network of foster families while they await adoption into loving homes. Our dogs come from high-kill shelters, hoarding situations, and conditions of abuse and neglect. We actively promote the benefits of dog ownership and educate the community of the importance of spay/neuter. We have an expansive volunteer network that plays an integral role in carrying out our mission. We do not foster to adopt.

A Team Captain organizes a group of friends, family, colleagues or fans of their social to come together (in a socially distanced manner) to walk 2 miles together. We require the teams to be a minimum of 5 team members (so, 6 total). You’re welcome to find others to sponsor your walk, donate more than $20 and walk more than 2 miles… that is completely up to you. The Team that raises the most money will get a prize from one of our partners.

If you’re interested in becoming a Team Captain, email us at jamie@dogspotted.com and we will send you additional information and swag.
