💛🐶 FIRST ANNUAL DOG JOG RECAP 🐶💛

What an incredible day! We’re still tired and in shock of the great outcome. Our 1st Annual Dog Jog was filled with community, wagging tails, laughter, and overwhelming support for rescue animals in need! 🐾

Because of YOU—our sponsors, vendors, runners, volunteers, participants, and every dog who showed up—we were able to make this event truly unforgettable.

Thank you to our DJ Premium Karaoke for keeping a fun atmosphere going all day long, our volunteer photographer Nikki Tarca Photography for some great images to capture the fun, and also Toula Yoga for the complimentary yoga session to start the day!! Thank you to all who volunteered to get dunked for the dogs, even our founder jumped in and got quite soaked!! 🤪

Thank you to Hiawatha Fire Department, Hiawatha Police Department, Hiawatha Police K9 Unit Officer Eric and K9 Kaya & decoy Chris for showing up and being present with the community for our event!! 🐕‍🦺

MANY thanks to Matt & Ben and the City of Hiawatha Parks and Recreation for DONATING back our park rental fees!! The park was an amazing location for our event and we are so appreciative of the support from Hiawatha!!

We also want to recognize our amazing vendors, who helped keep everyone fueled, refreshed, and enjoying the day, and to our volunteers, who gave their time and energy from start to finish to make everything run smoothly. Your impact was felt everywhere!! 🙌🙌

To our runners, walkers, and participants—thank you for showing up and making this event what it was. And to all the dogs and their humans, you were the heart of the entire day! We especially loved seeing so many TNT alumni pups, thank you for coming back to support our mission!! 🐶

Because of this incredible community, we are proud to share that together we raised $6805.44 (after event expense) for rescue animals in need! That’s HUGE for our first year doing this!! 🐾🎉

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping bring the First Annual Dog Jog to life. We can’t wait to grow this even bigger next year!! 💛🐾
