5TH Annual K-9 Krawl

In observance of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Fairfax County Police Department’s Victim Services Section is sponsoring their annual 5K walk created to raise awareness of issues surrounding domestic violence.

This tradition remembers those that have been victimized by domestic abuse and celebrates those that have survived, with a public reminder that pets are not immune to domestic violence. Batterers often threaten, injure, maim or kill their partners’ pets for the purpose of revenge or control within relationships.

The Krawl is FREE and all are welcome. Bring your dog or borrow one from a friend, although walkers are not required to have a canine companion to participate.
