Multnomah Days

Corgi Walk in the Pearl

The Corgi Walk in the Pearl began 10 years ago by dog fancier Lynde Paule, who wished to create a venue to raise money to care for injured, abused, abandoned, or neglected dogs, specifically Corgis. It has grown into an annual fundraiser for the Oregon Humane Society and last year over $10,ooo was raised! Even if you don’t have a Corgi, this is such a fun event to watch (and you can donate too). 9am-12pm, $25 for the first corgi and $10 for each additional. corgiwalk.com
