Each year, Fox and Hound opens its gates for one of Sarnia-Lambton’s most beloved community events. Presented by the CB Homes for Dogs Project, this annual dog festival brings together hundreds of dogs, their families, local vendors, and generous sponsors for a day of fun, play, and purpose — all in support of the Sarnia and District Humane Society.

Dock Diving
Watch dogs launch off the dock in spectacular fashion, or enter your own water-loving pup in the competition.

Let your dog roam and socialize across Fox and Hound’s expansive grounds, supervised by experienced staff throughout the day.

WHY WE DO THIS
Every Dollar Goes to the Animals
The CB Homes for Dogs Project, presented by Coldwell Banker, has been a champion for dogs in need for years — helping thousands find their forever homes through partnerships with adoption organizations across North America.
All proceeds raised at the Fox and Hound Dog Festival go directly to the Sarnia and District Humane Society, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting animals, preventing cruelty, and giving shelter dogs a second chance at a loving home.
