Doxapalooza
DARE’s Annual FUNdraiser
Dachshund Adoption Rescue & Education (DARE) proudly presents Doxapalooza, our beloved annual fundraiser and festival held every year on the first Saturday of November.
Doxapalooza is a family-friendly, dog-friendly event that celebrates dachshunds, dog lovers, and the spirit of rescue. But don’t worry — you don’t need to own a dachshund (or even bring a dog!) to join the fun and support our mission.
What to Expect
Each year, hundreds of people and their furry friends come together for a day packed with:
- An exciting, new theme to inspire costumes and festivities
- A bustling vendor market with products for both dogs and humans
- The exclusive Doxie Market — your go-to spot for all things dachshund-themed
- Our famous wiener dog races, where every dog is a winner
- A creative and competitive costume contest showcasing pup and human flair
- The crowd-favorite Lick-o-Lot contest, celebrating slobbery affection
- Live and silent auctions featuring unique items and experiences
- Delicious food and refreshments to keep everyone fueled
- …and so much more!
