Join the fun at DogFest Jacksonville, a community-based walk and festival that brings dog lovers together for a cause. Whether you have a dog or simply love them, spend the day at DogFest and celebrate our canine friends and heroes that bring joy to our lives. All funds raised benefit Canine Companions for Independence and their mission of matching assistance dogs with children, adults and veterans with disabilities, free of charge. These expertly trained assistance dogs make a profound impact through the jobs they do like opening doors, picking up dropped items, alerting to sounds and much more.
Gather your friends, family and dogs and head to the Seawalk Pavilion in Jacksonville Beach, FL on March 31 for the 6th annual DogFest Jacksonville. Everyone is invited to join us for a day of fun, festivities, inspiring speakers, dog demonstrations, music, food and more! Registration is free.

Together in one place, more than ten groups bring their adoptable dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens in hopes that each one will find forever homes.
These events are an important part of maintaining Jacksonville’s no-kill status and helping surrounding areas and the nation follow suit.
