Celebrating Community and Compassion at Albuquerque's 43rd Doggie Dash & Dawdle by Parnall Law
Exciting Community Event: Doggie Dash & Dawdle 2026
On March 15, 2026, Balloon Fiesta Park will come alive with the joyous spirit of the 43rd annual Doggie Dash & Dawdle, hosted by Animal Humane New Mexico. This beloved event has become a staple in the community, drawing thousands of pet lovers, families, and fitness enthusiasts for a day dedicated to fun and fundraising for homeless pets in the state.
Participants have the option to engage in either a spirited 5K Dash or take a more leisurely approach with the 1-Mile Dawdle. Regardless of your choice, the after-party promises a vibrant carnival atmosphere complete with a Watering Bowl serving local brews and a buzzing Barketplace offered by local vendors. Gates will swing open at 8:30 AM, with the 5K kickstarting at 9:30 AM. The festivities will continue until 1 PM, featuring exciting activities such as costume contests and trick showcases that are always a fan favorite.
Leading the charge this year is Parnall Law, making a grand return as a Gold Sponsor. The esteemed Albuquerque-based injury law firm is setting a high bar for community involvement by providing custom tote bags to all participants. These bags not only serve as convenient carriers for snacks, vendor treasures, and event memorabilia but also symbolize the unyielding support Parnall Law offers for a crucial cause.
As Bertrand Parnall, the firm's founder, expresses: "Doggie Dash & Dawdle is one of Albuquerque's most joyful traditions. We are honored to support Animal Humane New Mexico and their ongoing efforts to care for and protect the vulnerable animals within our community."
Bertrand will attend alongside his wife, Marta Strzyzewski, and their friendly poodle, Ziggy. Additionally, attorney Kyle Malone will join the fun with his two golden retrievers, surrounded by colleagues and supporters from their firm, all unified in this charitable endeavor.
The event aims to raise an impressive $200,000, which will directly support the various life-saving programs and services provided by Animal Humane New Mexico. With the expectation of a lively crowd, this sponsorship by Parnall Law signifies their unwavering commitment to strengthening the bonds within the Albuquerque community—benefiting both its residents and their four-legged companions.
Registration for the 43rd annual Doggie Dash & Dawdle is currently open, offering another opportunity for the community to engage in this uplifting event. Don’t miss the chance to dash, dawdle, and collect your Parnall Law tote while playing a part in supporting local animals in need. Let's come together for a day of joy, health, and compassion!
