Support rescue animals with Friends for Life Animal Rescue’s fundraising lure coursing events. Lure coursing is a fun, non-competitive activity where dogs chase a mechanically operated lure—safe, exciting, and open to dogs of all breeds.

All proceeds go directly to Friends for Life's lifesaving work rescuing and placing animals in loving adoptive homes.

We open online sign up one week prior to each event, so mark your calendars! Pre-registering is $9/run, at the door is $10/run. Please note that walk-ins will only be able to do one run and may wait longer than pre-registered dogs.

REMINDERS:

Please no retractable leashes (if you do use one, it must be locked at 6 ft) - your pup must stay on leash at ALL TIMES when outside of the park.
This is a high-arousal sport for these pups, it is usually best to keep them close to you and away from the other pups.
Most dogs can only do about THREE runs max per day, but most are comfortable at TWO - our crew will always do what is best for your dog and will let you know when they have reached their limit.

*We do not offer refunds as this is a fundraiser for the dogs & cats of Friends for Life Animal Rescue. If you pay for a run and are unable to make it, please let us know and we will roll it over to the next date.

The lure course events are located at Friends for Life Animal Rescue, in our private, fully fenced, dog park (Scentral Park).

Address: 952 W Melody Ave, Gilbert, AZ 85233
