About Stafford Veterinary Hospital presents Tangi Animal Friends Wag, Walk & Run 5K & 1 Mile Dog Walk & Fun Run

WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?!  WE LET THE DOGS OUT!!

Join us for the inaugural Tangi Animal Friends Wag, Walk and Run 5K & 1 Mile Dog Walk & Fun Run presented by Stafford Veterinary Hospital.

This is a dog friendly event to raise funds for Tangi Animal Friends.  

Tangi Animal Friends is a local 501c3 non-profit group that has partnered with many local veterinary hospitals & rescues, such as Stafford Veterinary Hospital, Crossroads Cat Clinic, Dog People of Livingston, Saints SPCA, and Purrs of Hope in providing financial assistance towards the spay and neutering of dogs and cats in the Parishes of Tangipahoa, Livingston, St. Helena and Washington.  Their focus is to provide pet parents who demonstrate financial need with access to low cost spay and neuter options.  They also help US Veteran pet parents!  They help initiatives such as rabies vaccines, microchipping and pet food instability and intervene in emergency situations involving medical care and food assistance. 
This race is not just about the Hooomans, it's about the DOGS!! (TAF does help with cats for spay/neuter, but have you ever tried to get a cat to walk on a leash?  Yeah...we thought so. So, this is just a Dog Walk folks--no cats allowed.)
