Not Just Another Walk in the Park
Our largest fundraiser of the year, Doggie Dash Salem—formally known as Willamutt Strut—is a special event for the mid-Valley community in the heart of downtown Salem. Animal-lovers gathered in Riverfront Park for a walk/run and dog-friendly festival, all to raise money and support for animals in need.
In 2025, Dashers raised over $550,000 to support our life-saving programs and services, including behavior and training support, investigation into reports of cruelty and neglect, and comprehensive medical care. The event offered delightful dog activities, such as dog-agility courses, a doggie sundae bar, and so much more!
