Fort Wayne, Indiana (September 15, 2025) – Registration has opened for two EPIC events in October supporting funds at Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control. In partnership with Epic Racing, the Paws and Run 5K and Fun Run will be held on Saturday, October 4th at Buckner Park. Proceeds support the Angel Fund, providing medical care to animals that come into the shelter. The 5k is timed for those who are true competitors but can also be run/walked with family and social furry friends. The Fun Run is a short obstacle course race that must be run while wearing your favorite inflatable animal themed costume. There is something for everyone and great prizes for winners of both races!
Saturday, October 18th, Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control will be hosting the annual Howl-O-Walkoween as part of the Fright Night festivities downtown, at Promenade Park pavilion. Howl-O-Walkoween supports humane education programs and community outreach for the shelter. The Howl event is family oriented and social pet friendly. Guests can enjoy the raffles, food trucks, professional pet and family portraits, and seeing everyone dressed in fun costumes. Registration for the costume contest can be found on the FWACC website event page and is just $30 for the entire family. There are 4 categories for costume prizes at the event and an online contest for those who may not have social pets they can bring out.
More details and registration for both events can be found on the FWACC website, and on the shelter Facebook page. www.fwacc.org
