Our runway will shine with Fremont Humane alumni dogs (and a few special four-legged friends) gracing the stage with models stylishly dressed by our partner, Barn & Barrel. Add to that the allure of a nostalgic performance by Derek Evilsizor, a Frank Sinatra impersonator, and you have an evening that's as entertaining as it is heartwarming.

Rescue Runway was created with the mission to help every sick and injured animal that comes our way. Our shelter incurred a deficit of $50,000 in 2023 due to the rising costs of animal medical care. This year, we're aiming to raise more than $50,000 through this event to help offset these costs. Join us, and be a part of this compassionate journey!

Over the years, Rescue Runway has been dubbed "the can't miss event in Fremont County." We're proud to carry forward this legacy of excitement, fashion, and unwavering dedication to animal care. Together, let's make a difference and support the Humane Society of Fremont County in their mission to provide shelter, care, and advocacy for animals in need.

Awesome shelter, staff, & cost. Felt so welcome and they were so helpful with the adoption of my little kitten, "Jubilee." Thanks for your great care while working with your shelter!

Found a pup near the Abbey and when I took her to the Humane Society of Fremont County to check for a chip they instantly remembered someone who called in about a dog with the same description. The woman immediately contacted the family so the dog could be returned. The staff were very professional and friendly during the whole process.

Good people doing good for animals. The Humane Society of Fremont County is serving the community well. The management is top-notch and most of the people working there seem to be friendly and knowledgeable. A great place to volunteer time for the betterment of the dog and cat community in which we live.
