Dog Boarding in Fort Walton Beach

Dog Daze

The biggest, fluffiest, most pawesome event of the year in Fort Walton Beach is back - Dog Daze! Bring your pooch to the most barked-about festival in an area full of canine festivities for you and your pooch. The event will feature games and contests for the pups, wiener dog races, dog-centered vendors, and even fun exhibitions by the Soccer Collies and the Pensacola Furricanes! It's a day-long event in the Liza Jackson Park where you can shop, eat, meet other pups, run around agility courses and bond with your pooch. The event is free, but donations of $3+ per pup are requested. All proceeds go toward pup causes in the area. All pups over 6 months (with their shots and such) are welcome to attend the event! 

Home for the Pawlidays

Ho, ho, ho  - Christmas is quickly coming, are you and your pup paw-pared? Luckily, PAWS (Panhandle Animal Welfare Shelter) has got you covered with their annual Home for the Pawlidays event. Not only does this event function as an enormous adoption party (you may be going home with a new pup), it's also a fun, Fido-friendly event that features raffles, doggo vendors, food, fun, and even pet pictures with Santa! From 11-2, you and your canine companion can snap a few photos with the big guy in red. Even better? If your pooch is a PAWS alumni, your photos are free! If not, no sweat, they recommend a $3 donation for your photo opp. Don't miss this opportunity to get your pooch prepared for the holidays!

Paws on the Throttle

Join Fort Walton Beach citizens for a different kind of pup-benefit event - the annual Paws on the Throttle! Put on by the PAWS shelter, this annual event features bikers, bulldogs and more for a run/drive that benefits homeless pups in the area. For $15, you can bring your pooch to watch bikers galore throttle their hogs all for a good cause! The run will feature the central event, but also an after party with lots of prizes, drawings,  live music, and fellow pooches enjoying the Florida weather. All proceeds will benefit the PAWS organization and homeless pups in your area. 

Pup Parks

This pup-friendly city wouldn't be complete without a few parks dedicated to the pooches. The most pawpular park in the area is Central Bark. This pup park is fenced-in, off-leash, and gives you and your pooch plenty of space to play. Set up with water fountains, plush grass, and plenty of play equipment, this pup park provides a space for both the active pooches and the lazier doggos to enjoy the outdoors. You can even arrange to host private events for your pooch - like a birthday party, perhaps - in one half of the dog park. Another pawpular choice is the Liza Jackson Dog Park. Not only is this a fenced-in, size-separated, off-leash park that you and your pooch can enjoy every day of the year, it's also the site of the annual Dog Daze event every October!

3 Dogs & a Chick

This pup-run store (okay, okay, a human runs it, too) is the perfect pup boutique for you and your pooch. It features funky treats and toys, eco-friendly products, and even birthday cakes for your pup!  This isn't just a spot to find products for your pooch, it's a total pup-centric experience. Bring along Fido to help pick out his favorite treats, and even sample a few of the delicious pup-friendly baked goods! While you're in, let your pooch enjoy a meet-n-sniff with the doggo-owners of the store, Sabre, Tate, and Zara, the chief security, eating, and joking officers, respectively.
