DogFest North Central

Join us on Sunday, September 21, 2025 to celebrate DogFest North Central! A young boy in leg braces and using crutches shakes hands with a black service dog while a woman holds the dog's leash.

DogFest is Canine Companions’ signature event and largest fundraiser of the year. This family and dog-friendly event takes place during National Service Dog Month in September and celebrates the culmination of year-round fundraising efforts. We encourage everyone to attend and learn about our mission.

You don’t need to attend DogFest in person in order to participate. Stay tuned for a link to the DogFest 2025 website, which will allow you to fundraise from anywhere.

In 2024, DogFest North Central exceeded its fundraising goal and broke new records with more than $500,000 raised.
