🐾 Every Mile Matters
The Paws Around the World 5K supports New Beginnings International Sporting Dog Rescue, a nonprofit dedicated to saving Setters, Pointers, Spaniels, and Retrievers abandoned overseas—especially in Greece and other countries where these kind, loyal hunting breeds are often discarded and left to suffer.
Your registration and support help provide veterinary care, travel costs, rehabilitation, and loving homes for dogs who have never known safety—until now.
