What is WOOF?

Losing a beloved person or canine companion can be an incredibly emotional journey and we want to help everyone celebrate these important connections and the lasting impact they have.

Whether you are joining us at Salcey Forest or organising your own walk, share your stories and memories with others, because the companions we lose, whether two of four-legged, we will always carry with us.

How the event works

1. Choose your walk location

Walk your favourite path you took with your loved one or challenge yourself to walk further. Gather friends and family to join you on the walk to share stories to celebrate and remember your lost loved one.

2. Start fundraising in memory

This walk will not only be a special time to remember the one you have loved and lost, but also a chance to raise vital funds in their memory, helping dogs that need us now, and in the future.

When you sign up, a fundraising page will be set up for you automatically, so you'll be able to start fundraising for Dogs Trust right away.

We're so grateful for your support and we know the dogs are too!

3. Upload your photo

Your own walk:
Upload an image to our Memory Wall, a place to read others' stories and share your own.
