4 PM - Pack Walk & Check-In

Gather by 4 PM by the Bank of America in the parking lot at Safeway at Elliot and Val Vista on the SW corner. Volunteers with be present to get you checked in and provide a wristband for Rottoberfest (no waiting in line later). Not making the pack walk, no worries, you will be able to check in at the Rotten Rottie Ranch.

We will walk together as a pack to 335 S. Granite Ct., Gilbert, Az 85296 which is approximately 1 mile away. See the map below for route. The pack walk let's the dogs get out some of their energy before the festival and unites them as one big family and they are much more behaved when we get to our destination. It gives them time to get used to being in the presence of so many other dogs. This can be overwhelming for some dogs, however by the time we get where we are going, they usually will just roll with it.

Please check in and receive a wristband if we missed you at the pack walk.

Run Buddy Mobile

Unfortunately Run Buddy Mobile will not be able to attend this years event. We apologize if you and your Rottie were looking forward to a demo, we were too! 

Food & Beverage - All night long!

No festival would be complete without food & beverage (dinner, dessert and open bar) are all included. This year we will be hosting a pizza truck. Stop by the Tiki hut (open) bar to get yourself a cup of witches brew or other cold adult beverage. Water, soft drinks, and other nonalcoholic beverages are also available. Dessert is available too!

And we can't forget about the Rotties - Buckets of water will be placed thru out the yard for your rottie to quench its thirst. Food will also be available to provide your rottie a meal.
