Dash for Dogs 5k Run or Walk

🐾 Event Overview

Join us for our annual Dash For Dogs 5K and Strutt Your Mutt Dog Walk and help out needy dogs in our community and beyond. Every day our caring staff and volunteers help dogs, and other companion animals, in so many ways- providing shelter, care, healthy food, a warm blanket, needed medical care and behavioral support and enrichment. Come walk or run the course along the beautiful Androscoggin Riverwalk path. This is one of the few events in Maine that allow you to also bring your dog (must be current on vaccinations and NO flex-lead leashes). There is also an option to participate virtually.
