The Iowa Dog Jog is about bringing together animal lovers like you to a 5K walk, run, or wag for pets in need. We gather to celebrate all things dog and have a good time, but together we will fundraise to help provide food, shelter, medical care, and much more to over 10,000 pets who enter the doors of the Animal Rescue League of Iowa each year.
Did you know just $35 helps provide life-saving vaccines to a pet in need? Start fundraising today to earn prizes for your fundraising efforts and raise only $50 by August 31 to earn an Iowa Dog Jog T-shirt!

Party by yourself, with your dog, with your friends, or your coworkers — the steps are all the same!
 |
Individual. Register as an individual if you prefer to keep your pack small, but mighty! Each dollar you raise gets you one step closer to the next fundraising prize, and you will be supporting the life-changing work the ARL provides each day to change the lives of thousands of pets across Iowa.
Become a Team Captain. Create your own pack by becoming a team captain. Team Captains get the paw-ty started by recruiting teammates, and then have the opportunity to earn even more prizes just for being a leader of a pack. The more teammates you have - the bigger your impact!
Create a corporate team with coworkers to Walk.Run.Wag for pets in need on behalf of an employer - they may even offer a company match to double your impact on homeless pets (plus, the company match goes towards YOUR Iowa Dog Jog fundraiser, so you can earn even more prizes!).
Join a Team. If you have been invited by a friend, coworker, or neighbor to join a team, use this option to register as a member of their pack. You will need the team name and passcode provided by the team captain.
NOTE: If you would like to join a team or create a team, select Join A Team or Form A Team to begin your registration - do not register as an individual. To change your registration participation group, e-mail a system administrator at events@arl-iowa.org.
