Friends of the Shelter is an all-volunteer, 501c3 non-profit organization established to fund the medical care of the sick and injured dogs at the Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center.

The Franklin County Dog Shelter and Adoption Center is funded by the county budget and from funds generated through fees, such as dog licenses. However, these sources of funding are not sufficient to provide medical care for the Shelter dogs that need more than basic services.

The Friends of the Shelter was formed in 2003 to save these sick or injured—but otherwise adoptable—dogs so they can be adopted into loving, forever families.

Friends of the Shelter is an all-volunteer group of local individuals who donate their time to the day-to-day operations of the organization. Additionally, the volunteers plan and coordinate fundraising events, marketing and public relations projects and provide accounting and legal guidance. As an all-volunteer group, the organization is able to keep overhead very low, allowing over 95% of donations to help our shelter dogs in need.

Join Us for the 2nd Annual James Anderson Built on Belief 7K & 1-Mile Walk for Recovery!📅 Date: Sunday, October 19, 2025📍 Location: 916 Kenmore Blvd., Akron, Ohio 44314

We’re excited to announce the 2nd Annual James Anderson Built on Belief 7K & 1-Mile Walk for Recovery —an event dedicated to celebrating resilience, recovery, and community. The 1 Mile Walk is an untimed event!

Virtual: Can’t participant on race day. We offer virtual so you can run the event any day/time and log your results from October 19-31!.

The virtual mailing will be shipped after the event by October 24 and should be received by October 31. Virtual isn’t included in the awards!

This race was inspired by James Anderson, whose journey of recovery has been nothing short of remarkable. In 2023, James ran 100 miles straight over 30 hours, pushing his body and mind to the limit to raise $20,000 for our organization. His dedication and belief in the power of recovery continue to inspire others to take that next step—whether it’s one mile or one hundred.

In 2024, we launched this race as a way to honor James’ efforts and create a lasting tradition that brings the community together in support of recovery. Our inaugural event was a huge success, but we also learned a lot—and we’re making exciting improvements for 2025! This year, participants can look forward to:

✅ A newly paved driveway at the start/finish line for a smoother race experience✅ An updated and more accurate race map to ensure precise course measurements✅ An even better event experience with improved logistics, amenities, and more surprises!

Shawnee Pebble Pounder
2025-10-26 10:00 - 17:00 | Shawnee State Park, 4404 OH-125, West Portsmouth, Ohio
Let’s ride some gravel at Shawnee State Park! We have two exciting gravel routes:

Ride the Full Pounder and experience 45 miles of the best gravel riding and racing available in the mid-west. You will be treated to over 4,500′ of climbing as you traverse the most scenic and remote sections of Ohio’s largest state park. This route option has amazing gravel, outstanding climbs, at least one incredible descent, and three bridal paths (one grass-covered). Additionally, a section of technical double track will test your bike handling skills.

Are you interested in all the fun but with fewer miles? We have got you covered with the 35-mile Three-Quarter Pounder. Enjoy the same great Pebble Pounder experience while bypassing a significant climb and the most technical sections of the Full Pounder.

This is a celebration of everything that makes Norwood a true gem! It will start at Floral Ave & Washington Ave and showcase the beautiful presidential district of Norwood, including Wasson Way. Since our inception eight years ago, the Gem of the Highlands 5K has donated more than $90,000 in race proceeds. The new basketball courts at Waterworks Park and the dog park at Upper Millcrest Park have received the majority of our funding, but smaller donations have been made to cover mulch, grass seed and other general needs at five Norwood parks in beautification efforts. As a completely volunteer-led organization, we will continue to focus our proceeds and donations on improving Norwood parks again this year. Just as important, we believe we created an event that residents and businesses can unite around with civic pride!
