Fun walk. Fundraise. Fund rescue.
On October 12, the heart of the Arena District in Columbus will come alive for Walkin’ the Dog — a one-day celebration of dogs, rescues, and the people who believe in second chances.
Whether you walk a mile, stroll a block, or simply soak up the festival atmosphere, you’ll be part of a community making a lifesaving difference for shelter dogs.
Here’s what’s waiting for you:
🐶 Rescue Marketplace with adoptable dogs and mission-driven vendors
šŸŽŖTricks, skills & training demos from jaw-dropping canine athletes
šŸŽØKids’ zone with bounce houses, face painting, and hands-on activities
Every step and every dollar raised supports the Jess Sheehan Fund for Dogs at Gigi’s, improving the lives of shelter dogsā„¢ every day.
