Bark on the Beach is a one-mile, people & dog walk-a-thon that supports Animal Rescue Rhode Island (ARRI) programming and directly impacts the approximately 600 pets that will come through our doors this year.

This highly anticipated event funds some of our great programs, such as local Adoptions, Fostering, and our Bark and Ride program which transports pets from overcrowded Southern shelters to the safety of ARRI.

Bark on the Beach welcomes over 250 local animal lovers and their pets annually. Our goal is to raise $42,000 as we capture the largest dog photo shoot ever in Rhode Island!

Supporters and participants will enjoy a festive atmosphere including prizes, food, refreshments, amazing Wag-Swag Bags, fun activities, rewards for top teams, & MORE!
