Doggie Dash—Portland

Not Just Another Walk in the Park

Our largest fundraiser of the year, Doggie Dash has been a special community event in Portland for more than 30 years. Animal-lovers gathered in Tom McCall Waterfront Park for a walk/run and dog-friendly festival—all to support 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!
