From the Organizer
The Conway Area Humane Society is excited to host our annual Bark in the Park fundraiser on Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 9:00 AM–4:00 PM.
Do you have a beloved furry friend you’d like to honor? Whether they’re still by your side or have crossed the rainbow bridge, you can register today for our annual Honor Walk through Whitaker Woods or purchase a trail marker in their memory(deadline for trail markers 9/17/2026). This family- and pet-friendly walk raises critical funds to care for the animals awaiting their forever homes.
Registration is now open to walk, fundraise, and win prizes! The Honor Walk begins at 10:00 AM in Schouler Park (meet at the info booth). After the walk, stay for a full day of fun including contests like “Best Bark” and “Best Tail,” plus an agility course for your pup to try.
New this year!
On Friday, September 18, 2026, our information booth will be open from 1:00–6:00 PM for early walk registration and to learn more about the Humane Society. That afternoon, Seacoast Dock Dogs will host a diving competition from 1:00–4:00 PM, followed by a special “Try Dock Dogs” wave from 4:00–6:00 PM. Participants can register on-site, and 50% of the “Try It” registration fees will be donated to Conway Area Humane Society.
On Saturday, enjoy live music throughout the day, Dock Dogs competitions, vendors, food trucks, pet- and family-friendly games, and (availability and temperament permitting) some of our adoptable dogs.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you and your pups while raising vital funds for animals in need! 🐾
