Looking for pet-friendly events to attend with your dog? As a dog owner, it can be hard to leave your furry friend at home, especially as the weather continues to get warmer. If you live in the Raleigh-Durham area, here are three dog centered events that you can’t miss!
Bark in the Park
The Durham Bulls host Bark in the Park from April 3rd-September 11th at the Durham Bulls Stadium. Bark in the Park allows you to bring your dog with you, enjoying quality time while watching the Durham Bulls play. To be able to bring your furry friend, you will have to purchase a separate ticket, $5 for your pup and $10 for the owners. As a bonus, all the proceeds from your dog’s ticket will go towards Second Chance Pet Adoptions, an organization that gives stray cats and dogs a second chance at life and a forever home. Second Chance Pet Adoption volunteers will be at each game for Bark in the Park, offering to sit with your dog in case you need to leave for a moment. Not only do you get to spend time with your pup, your contribution to Second Chance Pet Adoption will help another cat or dog find a loving home. For more information, see the MILB’s website, here.
Small Dog Playtime
Small Dog Playtime is an event that is hosted by West St. Dog every Sunday from 12 pm- 2 pm. West St. Dog is a daycare/dog park located on 400 W. North Street, Raleigh. Any dog 25 lbs. or under is welcome to attend, allowing your puppy or small dog to run around off leash and worry-free. The park entry fee for this event is $5 for you and your pup. Check out West St. Dog’s website here for more information on this event.
Ultimutt Dog Egg Hunt

Located at the Apex Nature Park, 2600 Evans Road, you can register for two time slots: 6 pm and 6:45 pm. All the eggs are filled with treats for your dog to find and enjoy.
