HOT DOG RUN... BECAUSE IT'S FUN

​Hot Dog Run is Midland’s favorite dog-friendly race that allows participants to run/walk  with their four-legged best friends! People and pets of all ages, sizes and breeds come together each year for a fun event to help save the lives of Midland’s homeless cats & dogs.

On its 11th year, Hot Dog Run has been gaining momentum since it started in 2015, averaging 350-400 participants (and their dogs).

WHY SUPPORT HOT DOG RUN? 
Hot Dog Run is an important fundraiser for Midland Humane Coalition, helping us rescue our community’s homeless cats & dogs and give them a second chance to find forever homes. 
​

Each year, we rescue an average of 400-500 pets from various desperate situations and give them a lifeline.   The more funds we raise, the more cats & dogs we can save!
