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. Register on the DogFest North Central website to fundraise from anywhere!

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