“This year it has pretty much doubled if not tripled.  It’s been a great response,” race director Michelle Sutherland said.

The run started off with a Zumba warm up and featured a number of events focused on the dogs.

“A lot of keepsakes for the dogs, it’s not just coming out and showing their pretty little faces, ” Sutherland said.

All fund raised from the event go towards the non-profit volunteer run organization.
