Iowa Dog Jog
Get ready to pound the pavement to raise some funds for a very good cause at this paw-some annual event! The Iowa Dog Jog is a 4K and 2K run/walk designed for dog lovers and their canine companions. Held at Terra Park in Johnston, it sees scores of pet owners and their pooches get active in a social, relaxed setting. The route is scenic and you can complete the course at your own pace, and once the walk/run is over your furry friend can enjoy himself at the event’s pop-up dog park. Best of all, event proceeds benefit The Animal Rescue League of Iowa, the state’s largest non-profit animal shelter!

Pucks N' Paws
If you think dogs and ice hockey are a match made in heaven, you’ll love Pucks N’ Paws! An initiative of the Iowa Wild and the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, this grrr-eat night out allows you to take your four-legged friend along with you to watch the Iowa Wild in action. Dogs get in free with their humans, and must be leashed, at least six months old, and under your control at all times. There’s also a pet food drive on the night to benefit the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, so you and your pet can make a donation and go home feeling pretty good about yourselves.

Spooky Paws Parade
Get ready for a spooky, scary, and furr-iffic event with your dog in the historic East Village. The Spooky Paws Parade is held at Halloween each year and gives you the paw-fect excuse (as if you needed one!) to dress your dog up in his or her cutest, most spine-tingling Halloween costume. There’s an adorable and extremely entertaining pet costume contest with some grrr-eat prizes, followed by a parade through the district. It’s paw-some to be a part of and free to participate in, but is just as much fun to watch if that’s what you and your pet prefer. Add it to your diary for the year ahead!
