Charity Information

Race benefits Hooves & Paws Animal Rescue. Hooves & Paws Animal Rescue is a nonprofit animal rescue that provides rescue and sanctuary for abused and abandoned animals.  After they are rescued, our animals receive all the love and care they need and when they are ready, they are placed in loving adoptive homes.  Animals who are not able to be adopted are provided lifelong care at our sanctuary.  We have been saving animals since 2002 but recently relocated from Southern California to Louisa, Virginia.  Our rescued dogs, cats, horses and farm animals are loving their beautiful new sanctuary in Virginia.  As we continue to build new fencing and shelters, we hope to help many more animals who need a second chance.
