About the Events & Frequently Asked Questions

ABOUT THE EVENTS
SUMMER SHAKE
Summer Shake was One Tail's annual dog-friendly summer bash featuring vegan eats, ice cold drinks, silent auction and raffle, and games! While we loved hosting this event for six years, we're thrilled to combine the sunshine and food of Summer Shake with the excitement and comedy of our annual Tiny Dog 500. You can view photos of 2023's Summer Shake here.
TINY DOG 500
Prior to this year, the Tiny Dog 500 was hosted in the late Fall, with light bites and drinks. Tiny Dog 500 has historically been a smaller event where the athlete spots were filled quickly. We're looking forward to offering more athlete spots this year, plus a *very* limited number of non-athlete tickets for our larger dog friends! You can view photos of last year's Tiny Dog 500 here.
This year, the Tiny Dog 500 will include all the best parts of both events: Ice cold drinks, raffles, big AND small dogs, on-site activities, and, of course - the races!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are you going to weigh dogs to be sure they meet the weight limits for their division?
No, we won't weigh your dogs, but please respect the limitations we've established for the Tiny Dog 500! We want to keep everyone safe and comfortable and we'd hate for anyone's dog to be injured because a larger dog trampled over them during the excitement of the race.
My dog is very dog-friendly, but also likes to chase squirrels and rabbits, would they be okay to bring to the event?
Tiny Dog 500 is an off-leash race between dogs - so large dogs who like to chase small creatures may have a tough time containing their excitement at this event! It might be best to leave them at home for this one.
