Dog Walk with Let's Be Friends Indy + Three Dog Bakery (Mass Ave)
Let's Be Friends Indy teams up with Three Dog Bakery for a morning dog walk along Mass Ave, followed by a shopping social. Free to join — and you don't need a dog to come along. A great way to meet fellow dog lovers downtown.
5K Fun Run at Half Liter Brewery — Indiana Brewery Running Series
The Indiana Brewery Running Series stops at Half Liter Brewery, Bar & BBQ for a casual, untimed ~5K fun run/walk that wraps up with a craft beer and good company. Leashed dogs (and strollers) are welcome to join the route, making it a laid-back way for dog owners to get moving with their pup on a fall Saturday morning.
Talk With A Trainer
A free, human-only dog behavior class from Friends of Indy Animals, held at Indianapolis Animal Care Services. It opens with a short lesson and then a Q&A with certified trainers and behavior professionals — great for new adopters or anyone who wants to better understand their dog. Offered hybrid: attend in person or online.
Howl & Wine
Friends of Indy Animals' fall fundraiser at Elanco's new Indianapolis headquarters, featuring wine, a silent auction, and time with adorable adoptable pups. Proceeds support animals in need across the city.
