Attend any of the dog shows, agility competitions, costume parades, festivals or fundraisers in Wisconsin on our Dog Events Calendar and you’ll meet hundreds, maybe even thousands, of dog lovers. And since 70% of the events listed benefit humane societies, attending one is a great way to help homeless pets too.
