Get ready for a tail-wagging good time at Dogtoberfest 2025, happening on Saturday, September 13th in the vibrant city of Akron, Summit! This exciting event invites dog lovers and their furry friends to come together for a morning full of fun and festivities. Join us at Lock 3 in Downtown Akron, where dogs under 30 lbs will kick off the day at 10:00 AM, followed by their larger friends over 30 lbs at 10:30 AM.

For just $19.00 per dog, participants will receive a commemorative Dog Tag, celebrating their involvement in this pawsome event. While we won't be offering shirts this year, a limited number will be available for sale at the festival. The festivities run from 11 AM to 5 PM, and all proceeds from the walk will benefit local Akron Area rescues, including the Ohio Pug Rescue. Bring your canine companions and join us for a day of joy, community, and support for our beloved rescue dogs!
