Walk Woof Wag

More about our mission

This fund was created to assist the Chico Animal Shelter in caring for the medical needs of the animals that remain under their care until they find their fur-ever home! 

To help raise funds, we put on an annual event - Walk Woof Wag - one of Chico's favorite festivals. The annual Walk Woof Wag dog festival and walk is a fun day for dogs and their owners to enjoy a myriad of activities, games, and treats together in Chico's beautiful Lower Bidwell Park. The event always takes place toward the end of October, when the weather is mild and the park is lovely. Offerings usually include the 'Simon Says Woof' group tricks game, booths with games and crafting stations for dogs and humans of all ages, a doggie costume contest with local celebrity judges, a photo booth with professional pet photographers, an impressive raffle basket table, and to wrap it all up a big group dog-walk through the park. This event is unlike any other in Chico, and long-time participants say it's one of their favorite days of the year.

Join us October 11, 2025 for a wonderful day of raising money and having fun!
