ARL Doxie Dash

Is your doxie ready to race?

Join us at the Des Moines Buccaneers’ final regular-season game against the Sioux City Musketeers! Bring your doxie along to watch—and for their chance to compete against other local four-legged weenies on the ice.

During the first intermission, the Bucs and the Animal Rescue League of Iowa will once again host “wiener dog” racing in Des Moines! Dachshund owners can enter their pups in the race for a chance to win prizes and help raise funds for animals in need. After the race, stick around to enjoy the rest of the game from the dogs-only section of the rink!

PLUS — NEW this year: all dogs are welcome! Don’t have a doxie? No problem! You and your pup—of any breed—can still join us in the stands to cheer on the Bucs and our Doxie Dashers.

Be sure to stop by the ARL raffle table for a chance to win fun prizes, and don’t forget to sign-up for the Chuck-A-Puck competition—ALL proceeds will go directly back to the animals in our care.
