Wasatch Waddle! March 15, 2025!

Waddle 2025!

New for 2025!

First, we encourage you to register as soon as possible!

This year we will not have a new shirt design. Instead, we are offering two different styles (short or long sleeve) of last year’s design.

If you want to be sure and get yours; Utah Friends of Basset Hounds will be doing two Meet and Greet’s at The Dogs Meow on March 1, 10:00 AM to noon and Sunday, March 2 from 11:00 AM until at least 2:00 PM. (It’s the official opening of their self dog wash.) We will have shirts available there; special price $5 short sleeve and $10 for long sleeve.

The Dogs Meow is located at 2047 E 3300 S in Millcreek.

If you cannot make it to our Meet and Greet’s, you may also order your t-shirts when you register for the Waddle. We encourage you to do this as early as possible for the best selection in sizes.

Instead of a new t-shirt design, we are very excited to be offering a 3-inch pin! For your $20 registration, you’ll receive one for free, along with derby and scarf for your Waddler.

As always, the Waddle is open to all UFBH alumni and of course all Basset Hounds!

What is the Wasatch Waddle?

It’s our most Fun FUNdraiser of the year!

We “Waddle” with our Basset Hounds in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. It’s about one mile, through the streets of Salt Lake City.

No need to worry if you have an older hound or one not able to keep up on foot…er, paw…because we provide the Pooped Pup Pick-up Truck! We’re also encouraging you to bring wagons or lawn carts for the hounds to ride in. We have to keep up with the rest of the parade so bring wheels if you have them.

Please, keep in mind the comfort and happiness of your hounds. If you’re not sure yours will have a good time while waddling, you can volunteer to walk one of our fosters, or help another family who has multiple hounds. It’s nosey and busy, so please consider your hound’s happiness and well-being.

Because this is a Basset Hound Waddle, registration is limited to any Basset Hound and the Basset Hound mixes that have been adopted from UFBH only. Questions, concerns, call Peggy 801-915-3647.

Help UFBH find our Pot o’ Gold! Get those pledge sheets filled!

Our fundraising goal for the Wasatch Waddle 2025 is $5,000! We realize that this goal might seem lofty right now but we know that with your help UFBH can reach it!

Since we started in 2002, we’ve helped almost 2,000 basset hounds. $5,000 would go a long way in helping us save more lives. As always, 100% of the money you raise goes to our Hounds.

We are so happy to announce…

Grey Muzzle Grant Recipient A big “ahroo” to the Grey Muzzle Organization for helping UFBH provide veterinary care to our senior hounds! We are so grateful!

More details will be forthcoming!
