Grey Bruce Animal Shelter Dog Jog 2026

Step into the heart of Grey Bruce County on October 3rd for an uplifting and inclusive event that celebrates man's best friend while supporting a vital cause. The Dog Jog is more than just a run; it’s a community-driven initiative aimed at raising awareness and funds for the dogs and cats under care at the Grey Bruce Animal Shelter (GBAS).
GBAS, an independent shelter relying heavily on volunteer efforts without government funding, provides temporary homes to surrendered pets until they find their forever families. This event offers participants the chance to contribute directly by joining as individuals or forming teams with friends and family.
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or simply looking for a leisurely stroll, every step counts towards helping these animals in need. Prizes are awarded to top fundraisers, encouraging everyone to rally support from their networks and beyond.
For dog lovers, this event is an absolute must! The first 50 dogs to register will receive a Bark Bag filled with goodies donated by local pet stores, making the day even more enjoyable for our furry friends. And if you don’t have a canine companion but still want to participate, your support as a human advocate is equally appreciated.
From early morning registration through the event itself, expect an atmosphere brimming with camaraderie and goodwill. Rain or shine, this community-driven effort promises a memorable day filled with joy for both two-legged and four-legged participants alike.
Join us in making a difference – one step at a time.
