ABOUT US
BY THE NUMBERS
1999
SDI Founder & CEO Sheri Soltes launches the Mighty Texas Dog Walk. Since then, thousands of Austin dogs and their humans have enjoyed their best day ever, making MTDW an annual celebration.
100%
The Mighty Texas Dog Walk & Expo is produced by Austin nonprofit Service Dogs, Inc. 100% of MTDW profits support SDI's mission of transforming shelter dogs into Service Dogs for wounded veterans and other disabled Texans, completely free of charge.
25 YEARS, 6 FLAGS OVER AUSTIN
We've hosted our event at 6 iconic venues in Austin. The first Mighty Texas Dog Walk started at Katz's Deli on 6th and Rio Grande. As we grew, we moved to Auditorium Shores, the Congress Avenue Bridge, Toney Berger Center, and Sunset Valley, before finding the perfect fit at Camp Mabry.
12 WORLD RECORDS!
Our big flex: We've fetched
12 World Records.
This year, we'll make history with the World's Biggest Pajama Party With Dogs!
