Bark on the Beach 2025 – Let’s Hit $50K for the Animals!

Bark on the Beach is a one-mile, people-and-dog walk-a-thon that supports Animal Rescue Rhode Island (ARRI) and directly impacts over 500 pets.

By participating, you directly contribute to providing food, medical care, behavioral training, and loving shelter for animals in need.

Each year, the event welcomes over 250 local animal lovers and their pets to Narragansett Town Beach for a festive morning of fun, community, and purpose. This event is for cat lovers too!

In 2025, our goal is to raise $50,000 to strengthen and expand this life-saving work.

Supporters and participants will enjoy a lively atmosphere with prizes, food, refreshments, Wag-Swag Bags, fun activities & rewards for top fundraising teams.

Register, fundraise, & walk... will you help us make a difference?

Perks of Participating!

When you register for Bark on the Beach, whether indivdual or as a team, you’re not just supporting ARRI’s lifesaving work; you’re unlocking a tail-wagging lineup of rewards!

All participants receive a gift for signing up, & the more you fundraise, the more prizes you could win.

How to Get Barking:

  • Go Solo: Create your personal fundraising page, share it, and earn fun incentives while helping animals in need.
  • Form a Pack: Rally 4–6 friends, family, or coworkers to walk and fundraise together and team up for more fun and impact!

Your registration fee supports ARRI’s mission and counts toward your fundraising goal. Every dollar raised helps rescue and care for homeless pets. Let’s save lives together. Start fundraising today!
