The fundraising dog walk
Walk with us
Take steps. Save more dogs™
Our sponsors cover the cost of the event, so 100% of your registration goes directly to saving more dogs.
$15 for ages 3 and up. Kids under 3 walk free. Registration includes an event t-shirt.
A noncompetitive walk
At 1 p.m., we'll come together for a structured walk in celebration of Jess Ross Sheehan. Walk three laps around Columbus Commons for one mile, or six for two. Or just walk whatever feels right for you and your pup.
Don't have a dog that loves crowds? That's cool. Grab your friends and family and join us to celebrate dogs. Every dollar funds medical and behavioral care for shelter dogs across Ohio through the Jess Ross Sheehan Fund for Dogs at Gigi's.
What $15 gets you
Registration includes
An event t-shirt
Included with every registration.
Walker check-in
Skip the line on event day and pick up your shirt.
The whole festival
Full access to the market, demos, and Kids Zone, which are free and open to everyone.
Optional, and it adds up
Want to do more than walk?
Most people who love your dog will never make it to Columbus Commons on the 24th. They'll still give, if you ask. A Facebook fundraiser takes about two minutes to set up, and we'll give you the words to use.
There's no minimum and no target you have to hit. Your registration already helps. This is just a way to bring more people with you.
