VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — The Portsmouth Humane Society, Chesapeake Humane Society, and the Virginia Beach SPCA have joined forces to bring Hampton Roads the very first Triple Hound Race Challenge. 

Runners and walkers who participate in the Portsmouth Humane Society's Cause for Paws 5K in April, the Chesapeake Humane Society Doggy Dash 5K in May, and the Virginia Beach SPCA  Mutt Masquerade 5K in October will receive a Triple Hound Finisher Medal and be recognized as a Special Champion for the Animals.

This collaboration will help spread awareness and increase the funds raised for all three shelters, so each organization can continue to address the seemingly unyielding existence of animal homelessness in Hampton Roads.

To sign up to participate in the Triple Hound Challenge, all walkers or runners have to do is sign up for each of the races and select the option for the Triple Hound Challenge on each race registration form. If someone completes all 3 races, they will receive their medal at the end of the Mutt Masquerade.
