OTS Dog Jog 2025
We are incredibly excited to announce that Dog Jog will be back in person again this year! The 15th Annual OTS Dog Jog will be a family friendly 2/5km walk/run taking place in The Arboretum at the University of Guelph. Bring your friends, family, and furry companions for a fantastic day of fun in support of OVC Pet Trust.
Joggers can set up a profile online to register and begin collecting donations. There is a prize for the top fundraiser, a raffle for all fundraisers, and a Silent Auction.
There will be an outdoor market filled with goods made by current students at the Ontario Veterinary College and refreshments will be served.
On the day of the event please feel free to post a picture or video of your walk and tag OVC Pet Trust and OTS Dog Jog on Facebook and Twitter and/or @OVCPetTrust, @OntVetCollege and @OTSDogJog on Instagram using the hashtag #OTSDogJog. Please help us reach our fundraising goal by donating online. The OTS Dog Jog team, along with OVC Pet Trust, would like to thank all participants, sponsors, and volunteers for their support.
