🐾 2026 Doggy Dash – Virtual Medal Run
Run Anywhere. Help Save Dogs. 🐶❤️
The 2026 Doggy Dash may have crossed the finish line in Fort Worth, but the mission isn’t over yet.
Thanks to the amazing support of our community, the inaugural Doggy Dash benefiting Love & Paws Rescue was a huge success. However, we still have beautiful 5-inch finisher medals left from the event and we have not yet reached our fundraising goal.
So we’re reopening registration — virtually!
Now you can run, walk, or wag your way to the finish line from anywhere, while helping save dogs in need across Texas.
