Dogs get their green on Saturday for CASI benefit 5K run in Carson City
Dogs and their humans gathered Saturday morning in the cold at Silver Strike Cross Fit to run a 5K around Centennial Park in East Carson City.
Several humans donned St. Patrick's Day green in honor of the annual Irish holiday this weekend. Even Tallac, a young chocolate Border Collie, got into the spirit with his green bandana.
There was one dog in the event, though, running for more than one cause. Bodi, a Vizsla therapy and search-and-rescue canine, was raising awareness Saturday about the mental health needs of military veterans.
The "Will Run for Treats" 5K was a benefit for the Carson Animal Services Initiative (CASI), a local non-profit organization that raises money to help shelter and care for Carson City pets in need of loving homes.
