The BEST way to get pumped to crush the RescueMe 5k is by a warmup led by no other than the CardioFunk Club Dance King himself, 🤩

Get ready to shake it before (and after!) an awesome run around beautiful downtown Belmont. Lem will be pumping the jams for the whole event and leading the vibe with his enthusiasm and tunes.

We told you this year was going to be 🔥 😎

Frankie would like everyone to know that running is entirely optional. 😂🐾

At the RescueMe 5K, you can run, walk, stroll, or take your sweet time. Bring your friends, family, and four-legged running (or walking) buddies and come spend the day with us!

We’ll have food, games, vendor booths, family-friendly activities, prizes and plenty of fun along the way. 🎉

No athletic ability required. Just show up for a great cause and have a great time doing it. 💚

Who else is Team Frankie: here for the cause, NOT the cardio? 🙋‍♀️🐶

Roman heard there’s a costume contest at the RescueMe 5K and came prepared. 😂

Why save your costume for the contest? Dress up your pup, dress up yourself, and run or walk the 5K in costume! 🎃🐾

There will be prizes, food, games, vendors, family-friendly activities and plenty of Halloween fun.

October 31st. Come for the cause. Stay for the costumes. 🧡 Link in bio to register or here: https://apbf.dog/5k/

Great news for Roman! Every dog (and every human) is welcome at the , no matter their breed!

While APBF is dedicated to educating, advocating for, and saving the lives of pit bull type dogs, this event is about bringing our entire community together. Whether you have a pit bull, Chihuahua, Great Dane, mixed breed, or no dog at all, we'd love to have you join us.

Come run, walk, cheer, and help create a more compassionate world for pit bull type dogs and the people who love them. ❤️🐶

Out in the community spreading RescueMe 5k cheer and prepping for our favorite event of the year!!!

You all know Ashley - our amazing longtime volunteer and adopter always looking fresh in her RescueMe 5k gear. You’ll likely see her out and about at some of the run clubs around Charlotte handing out coupon codes and of course treats for all the pups in attendance.

Also helping with the behind-the-scenes 5k magic are Stephanie (Events Coordinator), Shauna (Volunteer Co-Coordinator), and Fai (Board President).

Thanks for hosting us and thanks for letting us crash your trivia night - we apologize if .ondrako belted out too many answers - she got really excited that the subject was animals 🤪

Hi there - I’m Blue Ivy - a retired Humane Education pit bull terrier for the American Pit Bull Foundation. I’ve helped thousands of kids over the years learn how to communicate with dogs, learn things like preventing dog bites and attacks, and of course how to give the best belly rubs.

My important work has been made possible by community members who donate to our Humane Education program and participants in events such as the RescueMe 5k.

I invite you to participate this year whether in-person, or as a sleep-in supporter to help continue our work in the community. Your hooman will get a cool race shirt and all puppers get a matching running buddy bandana like I’m wearing. Please share with friends and family and please consider becoming a PACK member to support dogs like me who went from death row, to being a classroom favorite, to living the retired diva life. Thank you 🐾
