Under sunny skies and a balmy 80 degrees, Brookside Park near the Rose Bowl came alive on Sunday as nearly 2,000 people and their furry companions gathered for the 27th Annual Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run. The event, hosted by Pasadena Humane, blended fitness, fun, and philanthropy into a fun community celebration.
The day kicked off with wagging tails and excited chatter as participants registered for their choice of a 1-mile stroll or a 5K run. Dogs of all shapes and sizes joined in—some trotting eagerly on leashes, others riding in strollers, and a few carried lovingly in their owners’ arms.
Beyond the walk itself, the event was packed with activities that delighted attendees. A bustling vendor expo offered giveaways ranging from gourmet dog treats to innovative pet gadgets. The “Sit, Stay and Play” training park and an agility course kept canine participants entertained, while a doggy costume contest had the crowd howling with laughter. Food trucks catered to both humans and their four-legged friends.
This year’s Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run carried special significance as Pasadena Humane continues to care for animals displaced by January’s devastating Eaton Fire.
The fundraising efforts were remarkable, with $350,904.96 already collected before the event began. These funds will support essential programs such as the animal ICU, foster care services, wildlife rehabilitation, and the Helping Paws pet owner assistance program.
