Pet-Friendly Events in Salem This Summer

Four-legged friends are welcome at these Salem events designed for pets and the people who love them.

Walk-N-Wag

Bring your dog, your family, or just your love of animals to the 13th annual Walk-N-Wag, a summer tradition organized by Willamette Vital Health that combines a stroll through the park with games, activities, vendors, and plenty of four-legged companionship. Along the way, you’ll meet fellow pet lovers while supporting a cause that helps hospice patients stay connected to the pets they cherish. 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Jul 25 at Minto Brown Island Park. wvh.org/pets 

Yappy Yoga

Most yoga classes discourage barking. This one welcomes it. Yappy Yoga combines a laid-back outdoor practice with dogs, community, and a fundraiser for Oregon Humane Society, proving that yoga is even better when shared with a furry friend. 6 p.m. Aug 4 at Capitol Subaru, 920 Auto Group Ave NE. Suggested donation $5-$15 per yogi. 100% of donations will be contributed to the Oregon Humane Society, and Yoga + Beer will match any donations made for class! cheersandnamaste.com/events/yappyyoga
