As part of Walkin’ the Dog, we’re hosting a Rescue Marketplace — a vibrant, pet-focused hub where community, compassion, and creativity come together.

Stroll through a festival-style marketplace filled with adoptable dogs from local rescues and shelters, handmade goods, pet-inspired art, local vendors, and feel-good finds. Whether you’re shopping for your dog, your friends or family, or yourself, every purchase helps support animal welfare and small businesses doing good.

This is more than a market — it’s a celebration of rescue, connection, and all the ways we can make a difference for dogs together.

>>> Meet local rescues and shelters
Chat with the superheroes doing life-saving work every day, meet adoptable dogs, and learn how you can foster, adopt, or support them in other ways.

>>> Shop Pet-Loving Vendors & Makers
Browse handmade goods, dog treats, accessories, pet gear, and gifts — all crafted with love. Whether you’re spoiling your pup or picking up something for yourself, every purchase supports small businesses and a great cause.

>>> Get Inspired by Mission-Driven Brands
Many of our vendors donate a portion of their proceeds to support animals in need. By shopping at the Rescue Marketplace, you’re doubling your impact — supporting shelter dogs and businesses that care about them.

>>> Fun for the Whole Family
With activities, giveaways, and surprises for pets and people alike, the Marketplace is more than just shopping — it’s a celebration for animal lovers of all ages.
