Dog Events in South Bend, IN

Bring your leashed pup for a morning walk through Fernwood’s gardens and nature trails. On select Saturdays, members and visitors can explore designated areas together and enjoy time outdoors with their dogs. Members receive early entry at 9 AM with free admission for both humans and dogs; general visitors can join from 10 AM with standard admission and a small fee per dog. To keep the experience safe and enjoyable for all guests, dogs must be supervised, vaccinated, and kept on established paths, with certain areas of the garden remaining dog‑free. Dog must exit the grounds by 11:00 AM as they're not allowed in the garden outside designated dog-walking hours. Check their website for Dog Days schedule!
