The Rescue Runway event is an exquisite fashion event organized to benefit the Humane Society of Fremont County. It is a unique and captivating experience that combines fashion, compassion, and entertainment to raise critical funds for the medical care of animals in need.

The event features a remarkable runway show where Fremont Humane alumni, along with special four-legged friends, walk down the runway alongside models dressed by the event's partner, Barn & Barrel. Each participating dog takes part in two walks, the first highlighting their unique story and personality, and the second focusing on the fashion element.

In addition to the runway show, the 2023 Rescue Runway event includes special guest appearances, such as Derek Evilsizora, a Frank Sinatra impersonator, who adds a touch of nostalgic glamor to the occasion.

All proceeds from the Rescue Runway event directly contribute to covering the medical expenses of the Humane Society of Fremont County, helping them treat every sick and injured animal that comes their way.

By attending or supporting the event, participants play a crucial role in supporting the shelter's mission and making a positive impact on the lives of animals in Fremont County.

The money raised from the Rescue Runway event goes directly towards covering the medical expenses of the Humane Society of Fremont County. The shelter incurs significant costs in providing necessary medical care for every sick and injured animal that comes into their care.

These expenses include veterinary treatments, surgeries, medications, vaccinations, and other medical supplies. The funds raised from the event help offset these costs and ensure that the shelter can continue to provide the best possible care for the animals in need.

By supporting the Rescue Runway event, attendees and sponsors contribute directly to the medical welfare of the animals and help the Humane Society of Fremont County fulfill its mission of providing shelter, care, and advocacy for animals in need.

OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE MORE THAN $50,000+ TO OFFSET THE MEDICAL COSTS WE INCUR EACH YEAR

You can expect to see a spectacular showcase of our dogs walking the runway with models dressed by our partner, Barn & Barrel. The event also features other forms of entertainment, like a Frank Sinatra impersonator and various other exciting new additions each year.
