🐶 Wag N’ Wheels 2026 🛞💨

Reno’s most adorable dog race is back!

Wag N’ Wheels is a community event celebrating wheelie dogs and raising money for a good cause! This year, they’re raising funds for Virgil’s Happy Wheels, helping provide mobility carts and support for dogs with mobility challenges so they can live happy, active lives.

🗳 How It Works

Before the event, each wheelie dog gets a professional photo.

Those photos will be displayed at Jade Dispensary in MidTown (starting mid-April) and online at wag-n-wheels.com, where the community can:

👉 Vote for the dog they think will be the fastest

Each vote = a donation supporting Virgil’s Happy Wheels 🐾

Then on May 9, all the dogs race live to see who actually takes the win!

What to Expect:

🐾 Wheelie Dog Races

🍦 Dog Ice Cream Eating Contest

🛍 Dog-focused vendors

🎤 Presentations from trainers & rescues

🎟 Raffle prizes

🐶 A really fun afternoon supporting amazing dogs

Get Involved! We are currently looking for:

🐶 Wheelie Dog Racers - does your dog use a mobility cart? We want them in the race!

🛍 Vendors - dog businesses, rescues, and local makers, come join us.

🤝 Sponsors - support the event + connect with Reno’s dog-loving community.

🙋 Volunteers - help with check-in, activities, and making the day run smoothly.
