WOOFS ’25

We’ve expanded our Woof Run event into a new exciting concept- WOOFS, a more inclusive Doggy Day Out.

Now there’s something for every dog- no matter their size or stamina.

Our new-look event, WOOFS, is based on our past event The Woof Run, but with more challenges, more stalls, more competition and more FUN!

Dog lovers- join us on Sunday 16th March in the picturesque Brueton Park for a pop-up village full of challenges and opportunities to spoil your pup.

What's on Offer at WOOFS '25?

The Woof Run

A 1 kilometre challenge involving off road wood track, Cruft’s-like obstacles and what we think is the UK’s largest mud patch! Can your pooch set a personal best time and earn their certificate? If your dog likes mud, this is the challenge for them!

The Bark Walk

A 700 metre walk on flat tarmac around a picturesque lake with other friendly dog-walkers. See how many laps you and your dog can do, and earn a special certificate with the amount of laps.

The Agility Zone

Animal Kind Dog Training & Behaviour will be running a have-a-go Agility Zone in the heart of the WOOFS Village at Brueton Park. Try your paws at dog agility, including jumps, tunnels, hoopers and more….Get tips on dog training for you and your best friend.

Fancy Dress Competition

A prize for the best dressed dog in fancy dress, judged on the day. Your dog doesn't have to come in fancy dress- but we do encourage it. The second best thing to seeing your dog dressed up is seeing other dogs dressed up!

Doggy Raffle

Unique dog prizes to be won! Buy your raffle tickets in the WOOFS village, where there will be other pooch-related stalls to browse with freebies, tips, training tricks, and other furry friends to meet.

Be proud

Dogs are pure hearted, and we believe if they could help a charity- they would! Turn your dog into a fundraiser by having friends, family and colleagues sponsor your dog for a timed Woof Run finish or number of laps completed.

Fundraising

You will get a fundraising page automatically set up for you through our platform Enthuse, which is really easy to share with friends, family and colleagues, and really helps our cause to help end youth homelessness in Solihull and beyond.

You will receive updates with tips and tricks on how to secure support for your pup, and donations to your page. Every £9 raised helps us pay for a night’s safety for a young person at risk, meaning that it’s very possible your dog could home a young person for multiple nights, and even weeks!
