Aloha! Gather your friends, family and dogs for a day of Hawaiian fun!

DogFest is a festival with vendor booths, a beer garden, live music and activities for the whole family. This year will be Hawaiian – themed! Grab your doggie hula skirts and leis and join the fun! All Canine Companions’ dogs and pet dogs are welcome. The event is open to the public and FREE!

The human-canine bond is truly unique. On our happiest and hardest of days, our dogs love us endlessly. They are our everyday heroes in so many ways. Whether as assistance dogs, working dogs or pet dogs, there are countless tales of man’s best friend doing amazing things. Join the fun at DogFest as we celebrate the joy dogs bring to our lives. Registration is free. Fundraising is encouraged. There are sponsorship, volunteer and vendor opportunities too!

DogFest supports the mission of Canine Companions to enhance the lives of people with disabilities by providing expertly trained service dogs free of charge. These service dogs make a profound impact through the jobs they do like opening doors, picking up dropped items, alerting to sounds and much more.

Don’t miss out on DogFest. Grab a leash, a lei and join the fun! Get a free dog bandana by registering at canine.org/DogFestSanDiego.
