Celebrate spring, fitness, and pets at this year’s Dawgy Dash 5K. Support ARK’s work in the community by registering for the race, donating, or ordering our 2025 race tee. You can run competitively or enjoy a more leisurely walk, with or without your leashed pet. Register early to receive a discount (before March 15). Sign up with a team of 10 or more to get an extra $5 off. Our registration fee remains very affordable and you get a free race tee if you sign up before March 15. Go to runsignup.com/dawgydash to register or print out a paper form.

Proceeds from the race help fund ARK’s programs which improve animal welfare in our community. Learn more at ark4hart.org.

ARK will hold its annual members’ meeting at the Hart County Library on March 11. Doors will open at 5:30 for registration and voting. Hear reports from our various programs, vote for ARK board members, vote on the proposed bylaws changes, and hear all about the plans for a new shelter.
