Hub City Service Dogs is a nonprofit organization in Hattiesburg, Mississippi that partners individuals with specialized service dogs to meet their specific medical needs. Service dogs are specially trained to perform tasks that increase the independence of their human partner. Individuals paired with service dogs show improvements psychologically, economically and socially. Service dogs allow individuals to gain independence that would often never be achieved otherwise.

Service dogs can reach $40,000 depending on the type of diagnosis and training required.  If you can demonstrate a need to use the services of an assistance dog, you may qualify for assistance and we'll help you with the financial burden.
 
The event will include:
•    Door prizes
•    Breakfast
•    A Run-by Dog pageant (dogs to be identified during the run/walk by participant's bib numbers)
•    Tech shirts for registered runners
•    Awards for runners/walkers, with and without dogs

If you do go to this event, please let us share your experience.
