We will hold our 5K on August 12, 2023 at Avon Town Hall Park to benefit Chihuahua Rescue Indiana, Inc. The rescue is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to the rescue and adoption of Chihuahuas and Chihuahua-Cross canines. They strive to educate the public on the importance of responsible pet ownership and spend a great deal of time and energy towards this endeavor. The rescue will take in any Chihuahua, regardless of their condition. This means some dogs they pull require medical treatment that can cost thousands of dollars. Chihuahua Rescue Indiana believes every dog deserves a wonderful home; whether a Chihuahua gets adopted or they live out the rest of their days with a loving foster home.
To help the rescue, one of our foster dogs, Yoda the Teacup Chi, and I have organized the Yoda the Teacup Chi 5K. Yoda is the face of the rescue and is a forever foster, whose medical needs prevent her from being adopted. She goes to Indy events to raise donations for Chihuahua Rescue Indiana and bring awareness to rescue dogs. I decided hosting a 5K in her name would be a great way to raise funds for the rescue to help cover medical costs, dog food, and supplies. Besides the 5K, our event will feature local vendors, family-friendly activities, and a silent auction.

To Participate in the 5K there is a $25 registration fee until July 31st, then a late fee of $35 after. There is no fee to participate in the silent auction.
