Dog Boarding in Medford

Paws for a Cause

Situated in Downtown Medford, Paws for a Cause Dog Walk benefits Friends of the Animal Shelter by offering routes varying in length with fun stops for Fido and you along the way! When walkers are finished with their race, they are encouraged to check out the market set up by local organizations, pet product vendors, and animal service providers. Naturally, no dog walk would be complete without a costume contest, and a kid’s zone will be set up for the little guys. For $30, registrants receive a shirt and a swag bag full of goodies for both you and your pup!

Multicultural Festival

The Medford Multicultural Commission puts on an annual street festival at Alba Park for all of Medford to enjoy and experience the world’s cultures together as a community!  This festival brings together the intersections of dance, music, food, craft, and culture from the corners of the globe. Whether it is the traditional dance of ancient Mayan culture or the folk music of rural Japan, there is a little something here for everyone. When you are not enjoying one of the live demonstrations, guests are welcome to all sorts of food and drink to expand the palate. Admission and parking are free, and dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash.

Harvest Festival

A Fall favorite in Medford, Harvest Festival at Pheasant Fields Farms goes on every weekend in October. Visit their world-famous pumpkin patch, and check out one of their dozens of ongoing activities. While admission is free, Harvest Fest operates on a ticket system. Tickets are $1 each, and activities like the corn maze, face painting, hayrides, and the shooting gallery are all one ticket. Before leaving, guests are encouraged to stop in the Country Store to pick up some speciality fall items like apple cider or Pheasant Field’s favorite caramel apples.

Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest

Any resident of the Pacific Northwest will tell you that one thing you cannot miss is the stunning national parks!  The Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest is a truly remarkable set of sights, with different trails to be discovered with every visit. The Medford favorite, the Muir Creek Trail, takes you and your pooch into Hummingbird Meadows to drink in the wildlife. Divided into several districts ranging from the snowy mountains to the cascading pools, the Siskiyou Forest covers terrain for every type of adventurer. With camping permits available, this forest is open yearlong.

Howl-O-Ween

Put on by Medford Parks and Recreation at Santo Center, Howl-O-Ween is fun for the entire family, particularly those with small humans! Free, but with a suggested $1 donation for entry, Howl-O-Ween will feature a haunted room, bounce houses, and cupcakes. All are encouraged to dress up to participate in the Facebook costume contest for prizes. Put on each October, the proceeds from donations go towards a nonprofit dedicated to getting kids outside and active. Come celebrate the spooky season with your pooch and eat some candy while refreshments last with your neighbors.
