Community dog shows and canine-themed events are being held across the United Kingdom and Spain to support animal welfare and local engagement.

In the United Kingdom, events include the annual Companion Dog Show in Helensburgh, which raised funds for Hogwatch Dumbarton Hedgehog Rescue, and an inaugural dog show at the Hilton Park care home in Bottisham to observe National Dog Day. Additionally, the All About Dogs Show is scheduled for mid-September at Knebworth House, featuring various breed-specific activities and competitions.

In Spain, the Trex Andalucia Sanctuary near Turre is organizing an annual Fun Dog Show and Autumn Fair for late September to raise funds for its animal rescue work.
