December 2022 Dog Events and Dog Holidays – Dogster

Date:


Happy December! While you’re collecting little goodies to stuff in your dog’s stocking, consider picking up an extra for your local shelter. The dogs – and the staff – will appreciate the love! Many animal shelters and animal rescue organizations run adoption and fundraising campaigns during the holiday months, which we’ve listed in our December dog events.

We want to see your holiday spirit! Show us how you and your #dogsterdogs are enjoying your holiday season by tagging us in your photos on social media.

Don’t see your dog event on the list? Email us at [email protected] and we will include your dog event.
