We LOVE JUNCTION 311 ❤️🐾❤️🐾

Did you know that TODAY is National Dog Day?! 🐶❤️

We all know dogs are more than just man's best friend—they're family! And for so many of us, they're our favorite running buddies AND cuddle buddies. 🏃‍♀️🐕

Here at Junction 311, we LOVE our dogs and the organizations that help them, too! So if your pup loves to join you on adventures, we've got TWO races where dogs aren't just welcome…they're encouraged to participate!

🦃 RUNNING OF THE TURKEYS — THANKSGIVING DAY | GREENSBORO
Bring your four-legged family member along for the Family Fun Run/Walk at no additional cost!

And there's even a POOCH PARADE! 🐕🎉 Your pup can strut their stuff down the red carpet and get treats for participating from our friends at All Pets Considered!

🎄 JINGLE JOG 5K & SANTA STRUT — SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19 | WINSTON-SALEM

Your pup is invited to run or stroll with you—and you can even get a race bib just for FIDO so your best friend can officially be a runner, too! 🐾🏅

And if you don't have a dog of your own? We've got you covered! ❤️ We partner with Ruff Love Rescue to give you the opportunity to have an adoptable pup join you for your race-day run or stroll. Who knows…you might finish the race with a new best friend! 🐶🏠

🎉 AND BECAUSE IT'S NATIONAL DOG DAY…YOUR PUP DESERVES SOME TREATS! Lots of retailers and restaurants are offering freebies and deals for your furry best friend today, including:

☕ Starbucks: Free Puppuccino (a small cup of whipped cream) upon request.
🍩 Dunkin': Free pup cup/treat at participating locations.
🐄 Chick-fil-A: Free pup cup, with select locations offering free bandanas or tennis balls for drive-thru visitors.
🥤 Dutch Bros: Free dog bandana with a medium or large drink purchase, plus a free pup cup upon request.

So grab the leash, grab your best friend, and LET'S GO RUN (or run to get some freebies at least!) 🐕💨

We will see you and FIDO at the races!

Benson is a wonderful 4 yo male Pittie mix. He came to Ruff Love from a shelter when he was 6 months old, and he’s still here. There’s such a stigma for Pitbull mix dogs. Benson is such a good dog. He knows sit and stay. He walks well on a leash. He has an endearing habit of carrying his bone around like a lovey. He is exuberant when he plays, so he can be a bit much for some dogs. He would need a slow introduction with another confident dog. If you would like a meet and greet with this sweet boy, fill out an adoption form at RuffLoveRescue.com Thomasville, NC His adoption fee is $300. He’s fully vetted, neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on immunizations.
