Why Your Dog Needs a Day Out at the Doggie Derby

Sunday, June 7th - Rain or Shine

 Your dog loves walks — but every now and then, they deserve something more. The Doggie Derby is the perfect chance to give your pup a day filled with new smells, new friends, and lots of excitement.

At the 13th Annual Rotary Club of Forked River Doggie Derby, dogs can take center stage with doggie contests, prizes, and awards, while enjoying a lively outdoor setting designed just for them. With plenty of other dogs, pet-focused vendors, and friendly people, it’s a great way for your dog to socialize and burn off energy.

While your pup is having the time of their life, you can enjoy food, music, shopping at vendor booths, and family-friendly fun — all in one place. It’s not just a day out for your dog; it’s a day you’ll both enjoy.

🐶 Leash up and head to Jones Road Park on Sunday, June 7th, 11 AM – 3 PM
A happy dog makes for a happy owner — and the Doggie Derby delivers both.
