2011 Dawgy Dash Results
COFAS thanks everyone who participated in our most successful Dawgy Dash ever! We had 110 runners and 46 dogs running or walking through downtown Greensboro on a beautiful Saturday morning. Special thanks to Dr. Robert and Nancy Lewis who organized the entire event and helped to raise much needed funds to support our rescue and emergency medical care programs. Race results are attached below.
Also, we’d like to thank our sponsors – we couldn’t have had such a successful event without them!

Article in the Mason Telegraph about the Humane Society of the US
Take-home message? Donate Locally!
“Most Americans — 71 percent, according to Opinion Research Corporation — believe HSUS is an umbrella group for pet shelters. (No wonder: “Humane Society” is right there in its name.) And 59 percent of us believe HSUS gives “most of its money” to the pet shelters in our cities and towns.
“Most of us are dead wrong. HSUS isn’t affiliated with any pet shelters, it doesn’t run any and it barely funds any. If you pledge $19 a month, only about $2 of your $228 annual contribution will trickle down to a real humane society.”
