CHICAGO — Red Door Animal Shelter is facing an “especially rough rescue season” — but Chicagoans can help with a virtual run, according to its website.
Many animal shelters are struggling with overcrowding as they try to find homes for animals in need. Red Door will host a virtual 5K as it works to raise $50,000 to care for animals in need of homes, according to its website.
The shelter — a no-kill organization that cares for dogs, cats and rabbits — has raised just more than $2,000 so far.
People who sign up can run or walk at their own pace anytime Aug. 27-Sept. 12 in whatever location they’d like.
It costs $35 to register for the virtual 5K. That includes an adult-size race T-shirt. A medal can be bought for an additional $15. People can sign up here individually or with a team.
For those who aren’t into running, adoptable pets from the shelter can be found here.
