About Hike on the Dike 2025

Join us for our 13th annual dog walk and fundraiser to save lives and help pets in need!

September 20th
8:30 am - 11:00 am

The walk starts at 9:45 am

Start your walk along the Columbia River Dike Trail at the WCGHS Dog Shelter, where you will also enjoy:

  • Police K-9 Demo 
  • Dog Kissing Booth
  • Doggie Costume Contest
  • FREE Doggie Knee Exams with a chance to receive a complimentary FULL orthopedic consultation at CRVS (Value $219)
  • Complimentary Espresso Bar
  • Dog Agility Course

Sign up to walk for just $20 and/or become a fundraiser for free! Then reach out to friends and family to help you raise money for the animals and earn some cool prizes! You may register at the event, but pre-registration is highly recommended!

Your participation in this event saves lives by helping us fund the day-to-day operations of our shelters. Because of you, we are able to provide medical assistance, food, and a safe haven for pets who find themselves in transition and are looking for a new home!

This year, Hike on the Dike will run back-to-back with All Paws on Deck (APOD), a street fair in downtown Camas organized by Camas High's DECA students. Visit the WCGHS booth at APOD from 11 am - 2 pm, following Hike on the Dike. All Paws on Deck features a "Dog Mayor for the Day" and a doggie costume contest, a dog agility course, plus lots of great food, crafts, and more, all right in the heart of Camas. 

It's all happening on September 20th. This will truly be a day for the dogs!


 All proceeds from Both events go to help the pets at WCGHS.
