Shelby Humane Society Paws for the Cause

Shelby Humane Society is the only open-admission animal shelter in Shelby County.  We care for over 5,000 lost, homeless and unwanted pets each year.  We rely on fundraisers such as Paws for the Cause to perform our life-saving mission.

Held Saturday, March 9th  – Paws for the Cause is a certified 5k off-road cross-country race through the beautiful Veterans Park in Hoover.   The course takes you on a path through the park around the lake and through tree-lined trails surrounding the park.

The Kid Fun Run and 1 Mile Pet Walk allows children to explore the park and you to show off your dogs while they are getting some exercise too!  All dogs that participate will receive a special prize.

Please note to save costs we do not administer chip timing devices.
