Dottie
You might recognize Dottie from last year’s race—she was the crowd favorite! While she didn’t take home the trophy for speed, Dottie did help raise the most money and she’s back this year to do it again!
Now adopted and living her best life right here in Reno, Dottie’s ready to roll and race for a cause.
💛 Think Dottie will be the fastest dog on wheels this year?
Rugby
Another familiar face from last year’s race—Rugby is back! This gentle giant is ready to put his long legs to work again and chase the title of fastest dog on wheels 🐕💨
Rugby stole hearts at last year’s Wag N’ Wheels and found his forever home at the event! Now, he’s back with a new leash on life and a story that’ll make you tear up in the best way.
💛 Think Rugby has what it takes to win this year’s race?
Go Go Gidget
New to the race this year and already stealing the show—meet the unstoppable Go Go Gidget! 💥💖
Born without front legs, Gidget doesn’t let anything slow her down. When she’s not zooming around in her wheels, she’s strutting on her back legs like the total boss she is.
You can follow her adventures on Instagram at @unstoppablegidget and see for yourself why this little powerhouse is pure inspiration.
💛 Think Gidget will speed her way to the top?
Sammy
You might recognize our next racer—he’s kind of a big deal. Sammy’s Chariot of Fire isn’t just fast, he’s famous! 🔥🐾
Sammy is a proud ambassador for rescue and special needs dogs everywhere. When he’s not gearing up for the big race, he’s providing emotional support to his brother who has dyslexia—showing that being a hero comes in all shapes, sizes and speeds.
💛 Think Sammy’s got the heart and the wheels to take the win this year?
DAISY
She may look sweet, but don’t let those puppy-dog eyes fool you—Daisy loves to burn rubber! 🏁🔥
This little speedster is ready to show the world that cuteness and competition go hand in paw. Whether she’s zooming in her wheels or striking a pose for the crowd, Daisy’s got her eyes on the prize—and she’s not slowing down for anyone.
💛 Think Daisy’s got what it takes to race her way to victory?
