Honor Your Best Friend at Bark in the Park! 🐾
Do you have a beloved pet you'd like to celebrate? Whether they're happily by your side or forever in your heart, you can honor them by joining our annual Honor Walk through Whitaker Woods or by purchasing a personalized trail marker in their memory. (Trail marker orders must be received by September 17, 2026.)
The Honor Walk is a family and pet-friendly tradition that raises critical funds to provide food, shelter, and medical care for the animals waiting for their forever homes.
Registration is now open! Sign up to walk, create a fundraising page, and earn exciting prizes while making a difference for homeless animals.
The Honor Walk begins at 10:00 AM on Saturday, September 19 in Schouler Park. Please meet at the information booth before the walk. Afterward, enjoy a full day of Bark in the Park festivities, including fun contests like Best Bark and Best Tail, an agility course for your pup, vendors, food trucks, live music, DockDogs competitions, and more!
