Snuffle-Shuffle Dog Walk

The Snuffle-Shuffle Sunset Walk – Because Ordinary Walks Are So… Last Season

Tired of boring walks around the block? Your dog is. Trust us.

On Saturday, 27 September 2025, the tail-wagging athletes, the sniff-every-bush enthusiasts, and the downright adorable couch potatoes are all gathering at The Parks Fresh Produce & Pizzeria, Benoni for the Snuffle-Shuffle Sunset Walk – A gentle sunset stroll with like-minded dog lovers, this is not a race, but a fun, tail-wagging walk for everyone to enjoy, and you’re invited!

Here’s the deal:

• The first 100 doggies to register at 15h00 as well as the first 100 doggies to register at 16h00 will get a FREE, fabulously fashionable bandana. (Yes, humans, you’ll have to buy your own accessories.)
• Registration & Starting Times
• 2km - 15h00 Registration for Small breed, Senior Dogs and Puppies 5 - 12 Months
• 2 km - 15h30 Walk starts
• 5km - 16h00 Registration for Medium and Large breed dogs - No puppies
• 5km - 16h30 Walk Starts
• The Snuffle-Shuffle Showdown, where your dog could win bragging rights in categories for both male and female like:
• Most Unusual Looking Dog (a polite way of saying “one-of-a-kind gorgeous”)
• Oldest Dog (wisdom in whiskers)
• Biggest Dog (bonus points if they think they’re lap-sized)
• Smallest Dog (portable perfection)
• Fluffiest Dog (warning: may cause strangers to squeal)

• Awards Ceremony at 18h30
• Food & refreshments from The Parks
• Live music to keep tails wagging
• Fur-st Aid Unit for those emergencies (the dog kind, not the humankind… although we won’t judge).

Don’t have a dog? No problem! You’re still welcome to join the walk – even if your “dog” is imaginary, inflatable, or borrowed from a friend.

So, grab your leash, your sense of humour, and that dog who secretly thinks they’re a celebrity and we will see you at the Snuffle-Shuffle!
