About Paws4ever

All proceeds from the event benefit Paws4ever, which has been serving the Triangle and beyond for over 50 years.

Paws4ever is a guaranteed-adoption animal shelter and sanctuary dedicated to improving the lives of cats and dogs through adoption, training and education. We provide shelter and adoption services for homeless animals, affordable dog training classes for the community, and a Legacy Care program for pets whose owners can no longer care for them.

Many thanks to our sponsors for their generous support!

PawsFest

Join us at our beautiful 50-acre facility located in Mebane, just west of Carrboro/Chapel Hill, for our annual walk/run event and an afternoon of games, music, food, and fun! 

We're delighted to feature a beer tent with Dingo Dog Brewing Company, delicious food from the Bull City Street Food truck, and toe-tapping tunes from the Blue Star Travelers and Bill West!

Enjoy your run or walk, then browse the great vendor and animal rescue tables, play lawn games like bocce and cornhole, take the little ones to the face-painting table and inflatable ball pit -- or just relax and enjoy the music.

This is a dog-friendly and family-friendly event, so bring the whole gang!

Help Us Reach Our Goal!

Paws4ever relies on individual and corporate donations, in addition to our dog training programs and ReSale Store, to support our lifesaving work.

You can help us achieve our PawsFest fundraising goal, allowing us to rescue more animals and complete more families! 

With your registration, you will get a personalized individual or team fundraising page to share with your contacts. Please let them know why you support our mission, and invite them to make a contribution for this very worthy cause. 

What else can you do to be involved? Help us spread the word about Paws4ever and PawsFest! Share this event with your Facebook friends and Twitter followers, and encourage them to register! Consider putting together a team to fundraise and walk or run together! Think about whether your workplace or other business contacts could become sponsors! 

Every participant and every donation gets us closer to our goal and makes a difference in the lives of homeless animals. Thank you for participating in PawsFest! We are grateful for your support.
