“Raise funds. Save lives. Win prizes:” Patty Baker Humane Society Naples invites the community to its 20th Annual Run for the Paws 5K on Jan. 24, 2026, a pet-friendly event with a flat, scenic course at the Paradise Coast Sports Complex.
To mark its milestone anniversary, the organization set a $20,000 fundraising goal to support pet rescue, adoption and free spay/neuter services.
“Patty Baker Humane Society Naples’ lifesaving work is only possible because of the support and funds raised by animal-loving community members like you,” the shelter said.
Registration is $30 per adult ($35 after Jan. 7) and $25 per child (12 and under), including a Run for the Paws T-shirt and finishers item. Shirts are guaranteed only for participants registered by Jan. 7.
Participants can fundraise individually or as a team for a chance to win prizes such as an FC Naples VIP Package or a Naples Zoo Private VIP Experience.
The shelter will collect donations for its pet food pantry at check-in. All dogs must remain on non-retractable leashes.
Get involved by volunteering, fostering or donating at pbhsnaples.org.
