Fosters & Friends Pack Walk Fundraiser
25 foster dogs from Wags and Walks Rescue are hitting the pavement with 25 of our community dogs, for a special edition of our Fosters & Friends Pack Walk Fundraiser, sponsored by MiaMilo!
This month's pack walk is led by LARPBO (Los Angeles Responsible Pit Bull Owners), known for consistent, structured walks rooted in leadership, advocacy, and responsible dog ownership.
The walk is designed to help you and your dog (+ the foster pups joining us!) build communication, confidence, and calm through structured walking and simple training drills. It's especially great for shy or reactive dogs looking to safely build tolerance in a controlled setting.
🐾 To keep things smooth and safe, we'll follow a structured format that includes:
✨ Clear spacing and no nose-to-nose on-leash greetings
✨ Designated pauses to reinforce calm behavior
✨ Simple training drills to build focus and engagement
✨ A standard 4-6 ft leash attached to a flat collar or training collar works best for this session. Should a harness be used, it must be backed up with a flat or martingale collar.
✨ One dog per handler (multiple handlers per dog is okay) to maintain proper spacing and focus
🎁 Every pup, including our fosters, gets to order a custom MiaMilo leash and harness set! Foster pups will receive a code to share with their future adopter, so the set goes home with them.
💛 This walk is a fundraiser for Wags and Walks Rescue, and to share the 25 foster dogs walking with us to help them find forever homes! Attendance is free with a suggested donation to Wags and Walks. You can support by donating directly to Wags and Walks via our fundraising page HERE. Even if you're not attending the event, you can also give back by using code WAGSWALKS15 for 15% off any MiaMilo order - 10% of the order value will be donated to Wags & Walks.
🌶️ Meet Cayenne! Our adoptable flyer pup!

About LARPBO: Los Angeles Responsible Pit Bull Owners (LARPBO) is a non-profit organization committed to promoting responsible pit bull ownership and advocacy in the greater Los Angeles area. Through affordable training classes, socialization activities, and community outreach, we aim to foster healthier, more balanced relationships between dogs and their owners. We advocate for a positive image of all "bully breeds," and we strive to prevent surrenders to shelters, offering training as a viable alternative. Our mission includes educating the public about responsible pit bull ownership, challenging stereotypes, and dispelling misconceptions about these loyal, loving, and intelligent dogs. While LARPBO advocates for “bully breeds”, we are open to all breeds and training levels, meeting members where they are without judgment. We also focus on building a supportive community and providing tools for effective dog training to ensure that owners and their pets can thrive together. Through obedience training, socialization, and positive interaction, we demonstrate the true nature of bully breeds as wonderful family pets deserving of fulfilling lives.
