Gather your friends, family and dogs for a day of virtual fun! 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 service dogs, working dogs or pet dogs, there are countless tales of man's best friend doing amazing things.

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 dogs make a profound impact through the jobs they do like opening doors, picking up dropped items, alerting to sounds and much more.

Join the fun virtually as we celebrate the joy dogs bring to our lives. Registration is free. Fundraising is encouraged.

When registering, be sure to indicate you are bringing a dog to get your free DogFest dog bandana. Then fundraise to qualify for some fun DogFest swag!

DogFest Southwest is one unified regional event powered by the local communities throughout the Southwest Region. All of the states represented in the region: Southern California, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Hawaii will participate by fundraising. Chapters, groups, and corporate teams will be created in each geographical area to help raise funds and celebrate the mission of Canine Companions. Join a team today or register as an individual and show your support for our mission! Visit our Facebook event page to engage in some virtual activities and share your excitement, too.

Please stay tuned for your local in-person DogFest fundraising events or create your own! On August 28, 2021, we will share our region's DogFest fundraising experience and more in a video. You don't want to miss out!
