6th Annual Doggos and Deadlifts

Doggos & Deadlifts is back! Join us for a beginner-friendly deadlift, fundraiser, and adoption event benefiting Anderson Humane.

Since 2021, Surge to New Levels and their Doggos & Deadlifts competition & fundraiser have helped raise nearly $25,000 for local rescue efforts with Anderson Humane, and they are excited to continue that tradition with us.

Whether you are an experienced lifter, trying something new, or looking to adopt, this event is about community, strength, and supporting the dogs and puppies in our care.

In addition to the competition and fundraising, we will be bringing adoptable dogs and puppies for guests to meet or adopt on the day of the event.

Ways to get involved:
• Register to be a part of the deadlift competition
• Donate to the fundraiser
• Become a vendor
• Come support as a spectator
• Adopt a dog/puppy – See who’s available at ahconnects.org/adopt
