Dogs On The Run x Paw Match: A Partnership with Purpose
We’re excited to share a meaningful new partnership with Paw Match, an organization close to our hearts and built on long standing friendships. After recently reconnecting at a local street fair, we had the opportunity to learn more about the incredible work they’re doing to support rescue dogs in need and knew right away we wanted to be involved.

Community, Dogs & Fun: DOTR at the Carlsbad Village Street Faire
The Carlsbad Village Street Faire was everything you hope a community event will be, vibrant, welcoming, and full of connection, and Dogs On The Run (DOTR) was right in the middle of it all.
Our booth was buzzing from start to finish. One of the best parts of the day was seeing familiar faces, our current pet parents stopped by to say hello, share updates, and remind us why we love what we do. There’s something special about connecting in person, beyond the daily walks and training sessions.
We also had the chance to meet so many new pet parents and families from the community. From curious puppy owners to seasoned dog lovers, conversations flowed easily, and it was clear how much this community values quality pet care and trusted relationships.
And of course, the dogs were the real stars of the show. From tiny pups to big personalities, we met some seriously cool dogs throughout the day, each one bringing their own charm and energy to the Faire.
We even captured a client testimonial video during the event, which made the day even more meaningful. Hearing firsthand how DOTR has impacted our clients is what fuels our passion and keeps us growing.
Behind the Scenes: 23 Years of Dogs On The Run
At Dogs On The Run, our goal is always to provide not just great care, but true peace of mind for our pet parents. This month, we’re sharing a real moment that highlights exactly what that looks like. During a routine walk, one of our professionals was walking two dogs who were familiar with each other. In a matter of seconds, an unexpected incident occurred and one dog bit the other. Situations like this are every pet parent’s concern and every caregiver’s worst fear. But what happened next is what truly sets Dogs On The Run apart.
