We are looking for Sponsors for our 11th annual Running for the Bulls walk/run. Running for the Bulls will be held on Sunday, October 1st, 2023 at Rio Vista Community Park in Peoria, Arizona.
We are solely reliant on donations as we do not receive state or government funding. Therefore, as a sponsor your participation is potentially tax deductible and makes a huge impact. The mission of AZK9 is not only to rescue dogs; we also host monthly free/low cost spay and neuter clinics in the communities that need our help the most. We believe these clinics to be one of the most important aspects of our rescue work as Maricopa County has the second highest intake rate of animals into their shelters nationwide. Our partnerships with Dr. Kelly’s Mobile Veterinary Clinic and Fix.Adopt.Save allows us to coordinate and fund the following medical support:
● Sterilization
● Rabies vaccines
● E-Collars and pain meds
● Additional medical care for pets receiving sterilization such as cherry eye repair, pyometra, skin infections, deciduous teeth removal, hernia repair and more
● Critical vaccines for puppies and kittens including DA2PPC (Parvo/Distemper) and FIV/FELV
Since 2010, we have been able to assist 17,000 families (and counting) in free spay and neuter and vaccines services with support from donors like you. By becoming a sponsor for Running for the Bulls you will not only be helping us continue to fund our important spay/neuter clinics, but you will also be helping the current animals in our care who require:
● Medical care (including extended medical care for our Forever Foster Program for seniors and special needs dogs)
● Food, treats
● Training
● Toys and enrichment items
● Resources to help keep animals in their home such as food, pet deposits and medication
By becoming a sponsor, your business will be put in front of our 10K followers on Facebook and 5k followers on Instagram, along with the 500+ in person attendees!
