August 26 @ 9:30 am – 4:00 pm EDT

World Painted Dog Day, celebrated annually on August 26th, is the perfect time to raise awareness for African painted dogs. This year, we are celebrating with our African painted dogs, Sassy and Pollock, by hosting special activities on Zoo grounds! Visit Fountain Plaza for more information on the day of your trip.

Can’t make it to the Zoo that day? Consider participating in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) African Painted Dog Saving Animals From Extinction (SAFE) Program’s fundraiser with Panda Express.
