Walk & Dogfest

Omaha’s largest dog-friendly event offers the entire community the chance to participate and help raise funding to support NHS’s lifesaving work.

2023 Walk & Dogfest

We’re back -- and we're ready to leash up the dogs and get walking!


Join us on Sunday, September 24, 2023 for the 34th annual Margre Durham Walk & Dogfest!

Who’s ready to get out and Walk? We are! (And a huge shout out to everyone who supported us in 2022. You were there for the homeless animals and we appreciate all your fundraising efforts!)

We can’t wait to see all your faces back in the meadow on the NHS campus, starting at 11 a.m. on Sept. 24, 2023. There will be Vendor Village, Rescue Groups, Silent Auction, Adoption Parade, Amazing Food, Beer Garden, Entertainment and, of course, the Walk down the Keystone Trail. 

There is nothing like being around so many people who love animals as much as you do. Help us make the 2022 Walk for the Animals an event to remember tor the homeless animals!
