Memphis, Tennessee!


Shelby Farms Park Conservancy - Dog Days of Summer 5K Race begins at 8am
North Pine Lake Drive
Memphis, TN
(901) 767-PARK

2 Dogs has been invited to be guests at the Dog Days of Summer 5k event and 1-mile fun run to benefit the Fayette County Animal Rescue.  The race starts at 8:00 AM and registration will be from 7 to 8 AM. There will be an awards ceremony that should start around 9:30. One of the local radio stations, Q107.5, is hosting their event and PetCo is one of their Top Dog sponsors.  There will be music, a raffle, and prizes as well as food and refreshments for volunteers and participants.  The Fayette County Animal Rescue Center is the only no-kill shelter in Fayette County and, like many no-kill shelters, cares for some animals that simply can't be adopted.  Please come out and help support the Fayette County Animal Rescue!


Main Street "Downtown" Memphis! - Time TBA
The Majestic Grille
145 S. Main Street
Memphis, TN
(901) 522-8555

Later that day, 2Dogs will be in downtown Memphis. "Downtown" Memphis has granted us permission to have a ceremonial walk with Luke, Hudson, and Murphy down a section of Main Street that is reserved for pedestrians only.  We invite everyone to walk with them.  The time of the walk has yet to be announced, but we will post that as soon as we know. Bring your dogs (leashed, of course) and your cameras and enjoy a walk with The Boys.

The culmination of the walk will end at The Majestic Grille, at 145 S. Main Street (901-522-8555), which will be hosting Hudson’s birthday party that evening. Hudson’s party is tentatively scheduled to begin around 5 PM. They have outdoor seating and welcome dogs as long as they are leashed, have had their shots and their parents bring "doggie" bags (you know the kind I mean). In order to get a good idea of how many people plan to attend, please RSVP to Lori at lori@2dogs2000miles.org so she can contact the restaurant. Dining will be outside on the patio, dress is casual, all checks will be separate (they accept AMEX, MasterCard, Visa, and presumably still take cash) and there will be no cover charge.

Memphis, Tennessee!
Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County - 11:00am
935 Farm Road
Memphis, TN 38134

Thanks to their generosity, we will be hosting several events on the 8 acre grounds of the Humane Society. We’ll be holding an auction (entry fee of $5.00,) which will include a gift bag of goodies for each entry AND a raffle ticket to be entered into a prize drawing for a terrific gift basket.  There will be vendors, food and other goodies.  Come hungry and be ready to support two very worthy causes, 2 Dogs 2000 Miles and the Humane Society of Memphis & Shelby County.  There will be games and demonstrations including the Big Dog Back Pack Agility Race!  Rescues and shelters, start selecting the contestants you think can beat the Big Dog in a race on all fours, wearing a small backpack, maneuvering around a short course of cones!  The entry fee per participant is a mere $10.00. OK... on all fours, with back packs, scrambling around orange cones? That alone is worth $10.00! Remember, the money does go to two great organizations. Bring your video cameras for this one!

If you have some goodies you’d like to donate for the auction, or if you’re a vendor, please contact kathy@2dogs2000miles.org.

                                            with 2Dogs, Hudson, Murphy, and Luke!
