Dog Jog is a 2-mile run-walk on the beautiful University of Wisconsin campus. On Sunday, September 16th, at 10:00 a.m., hundreds of canine paws and wagging tails will join their owners in raising money to benefit area humane organizations.

Sponsored by the UW Madison School of Veterinary Medicine's Companion Animal Club, this colorful event draws participants and pledgers from across Wisconsin and the United States.

Proceeds benefit humane organizations that participate in the veterinary school's Cooperative Shelter Spay/Neuter Program for shelter pets or that participate in other school activities that directly benefit sheltered animals.

The route will be the same as last year. The Dog Jog will begin, rain or shine, at 10:00 a.m. in parking Lot 60 (north end of Walnut Street) on the UW-Madison campus.
