The event took place in front of the Auditorium at MSU, where about 200 people gathered with their dogs to raise money in support of the Ingham County Animal Shelter Fund and Animal Care Fund, which allow the organization to provide an Animal Cruelty Officer for the community, as well as food, housing, and care for neglected animals. The event included a free Kids’ Fun Run, an official 5K in affiliation with the Michigan Fitness challenge race series, and a 1-mile walk.
