Rally for Rovers: Where a Tradition BEGAN
What a weekend! The inaugural Rally for Rovers exceeded every expectation, and we couldn't be more grateful to everyone who made it happen. From Friday’s Pre-Rally Pit Stop to Saturday's drive through the stunning Millpond Plantation, participants showed up with enthusiasm, generosity, and heart. Millpond came alive with the rumble of engines and the warmth of community, all in support of the animals in our care.
To our hosts, the Brunson Family of Millpond Plantation: our deepest thanks for graciously opening your stunning land and tracks.
To our Off-Leash Leader, Land Rover of Tallahassee, and to all of our generous sponsors: your support made this event possible, and your investment in our mission means more than words can express.
To our participants and guests: you didn't just join a rally - you helped launch a new tradition. Rally for Rovers is here to stay, and we are already looking forward to seeing you back behind the wheel next year.
Lastly, to our Pit Stop hosts and coordinator, Hope and Todd E. Whiddon, whose vision and tireless organizing brought Rally for Rovers to life.
Thank you for driving the mission forward, for the animals who are counting on all of us.
See you back in the pines in 2027!
Thank you to our 2026 Supporters
