Participation Opportunities
Turkey Day is our rescue’s largest fundraiser – all proceeds help us continue to bring in medical need dogs, orphaned puppies…. hospice cases.
Race options include 5K and a 1M Fun Run. Both the 5K and 1M courses are relatively flat paved trails and the seasonal beauty of these two parks is spectacular. Thanksgiving themed costumes, decorated wagons, strollers and baby joggers are encouraged.
Well socialized dogs are welcome on a 6’ or shorter leash – retractable leashes are not permitted. Virtual ‘racers’ are welcome to support us from a far and will receive a race shirt!
Since it’s inception, The Freedom Ride Rescue Turkey Day 5K has been a very popular and well attended event. The first year was capped at 500 participants and we sold out. This year’s race will be limited to 1,000 participants. Registration fees increase as race day approaches, so register early!

What We Do
Rescue Dogs
We are proud to be the crazy dog lovers who skip out on work to transport dogs from all over the state to their excited fosters’ homes … who stay up late searching shelter pages for that next “Freedom Ride” potential …. who volunteer countless hours making rescue a reality!
Provide Medical Care
Freedom Ride Rescue provides all supplies (crates, food, bowls) and gets the animal in for a vet visit (for a spay, neuter and/or vaccines); we’ll also provide flea and heartworm preventatives. Anything and everything to make a happy and healthy pet!
Find A Home
We love, rehabilitate and nurse an unwanted, unloved animal until they prance away with their fur-ever person as they start their most life’s wonderful chapter: the one as a cherished pet.
