Fifth Annual Triad Dog Games on May 12 – Only Event of Its Kind in NC

Winston-Salem, N.C. – The fifth annual Triad Dog Games presented by The Sergei Foundation is truly a one-of-a-kind event in North Carolina.  It is the only dog expo that features four of the most prominent professional dog sport competitions at one time, in one location, with World Champion competitors. New this year is a 5k timed run/walk, Triad Dog Games is just Saturday this year instead of two days (as it falls on Mother’s Day weekend), and The Sergei Foundation and Second Harvest Food Bank NWNC are partnering as well! Bring peanut butter, juice boxes, and unsweetened apple juice to help kids this summer with food needs. Kids and pets go hand-in-hand, and The Sergei Foundation wanted to show partnering with other non-profits can be beneficial and not always competitive.

Charity event for The Sergei Foundation to raise money for sick and injured pets

These events are run by The Sergei foundation to help save companion pets’ lives by providing veterinary financial assistance to families unable to afford emergency, life-saving care.

Events/Register: Dogs may be entered in dock jumping, disc sports, agility, flyball and dachshund races, and even run/walk with their owners in our new 5K course.

“For most of us, pets are family members, and we couldn’t imagine our lives without them,” said Karen Fullerton, founder and president of The Sergei Foundation. “This event allows us to celebrate our pets and have a weekend full of fun with them while giving back to others who cannot afford to save their pet with needed veterinary care.”
