Join us for the 3rd Annual Tails & Trails Walk on Saturday, May 18th, at the Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park. This is a fundraising walk benefiting Ruff Start Rescue. The best part is your dogs are welcome to join you for activities and on the course!
There will be vendors, food trucks, family-friendly activities, live music, & more!
This event promises to be a tail-wagging good time. So, grab your leash, lace up your sneakers, and get ready to make a difference for rescue animals at Ruff Start Rescue.
