ags and Wiggles Rescue in Newport NH will be holding their first annual 5k, Strut Your Mutt, on Saturday, August 13, 2022. Wags and Wiggles is a non-profit dog rescue with a shelter located at 51 John Stark Highway in Newport NH. They have been a part of the community since 2016 and annually they average 120 dog adoptions. Wags and Wiggles has a mission to find loving forever homes for stray and mistreated dogs. They work within the community to promote awareness of animal welfare and prevent cruelty as well as educate the public about the humane treatment of animals and encourage vet care and spay/neutering. In addition to being a shelter for local dogs, they also partner with rescues in the Southern United States to bring dogs up from the South to find forever homes in the Newport community. Wags and Wiggles is proudly a no-kill shelter so dogs are cared for whether through forever adoption homes or care provided at the rescue. In efforts to help offset expenses from a smoke-damaging event to the rescue in June 2021 as well as to raise funds for staffing and dog care Wags and Wiggles is hosting this local 5k which will also be a timed event that is part of the Western New Hampshire Trail Series. The Strut Your Mutt 5K will be held at Newport Recreation Department, 65 Belknap Road, Newport, NH on Saturday, August 13, 2022, with a start time of 8:30 am.
