The event has been cancelled by the American River Parkway Foundation. We hope 2026 will see this wonderful event return.

We are excited to join Howlin' on the Parkway, a Halloween-themed dog walk and community festival, on Saturday, October 18th, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at William B. Pond Park in Carmichael.

This fun-filled morning will feature our adoptable and ambassador shepherds, various vendors, agility demonstrations, food, and more- all to benefit American River Parkway Foundation's Pups in the Park Program, which provides 60,000 waste bags each year at 15 stations along the Parkway and helps raise awareness about protecting our waterways.

Please join us to support the Pups in the Park Program and add a lovely deserving shepherd to your family.
