Approximately 800 dogs were expected to attend the Calgary Humane Society's Dog Jog on Saturday at North Glenmore Park. The event, now in its 25th year, brought together pet owners and their furry companions for a day of exercise and community bonding.
The Dog Jog is a popular annual fundraiser that supports the Calgary Humane Society's efforts to care for animals in need. Participants walked or jogged with their dogs along scenic routes within the park, enjoying the spring weather and socializing with fellow animal lovers.
Organizers noted that the turnout was impressive, with dogs of all breeds and sizes taking part. The event also featured various activities, including agility demonstrations, contests, and educational booths about pet care and adoption.
The Calgary Humane Society expressed gratitude to the community for its continued support, emphasizing that funds raised will go toward veterinary care, shelter operations, and adoption programs. The Dog Jog remains a highlight of the city's animal welfare calendar.
