OTS Dog Jog 2024
We are incredibly excited to announce that Dog Jog will be back in person again this year! The 14th 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 are a ton of great prizes to be won for all fundraisers.
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 on Facebook and Twitter and/or @OVCPetTrust, @OntVetCollege on Instagram using the hashtag #OTSDogJog.
