Come to the 11th Annual DoodlesinDewey!!

Join in the fun on the beach. Last year, we had more than 200 dogs "romping" with their owners. All for Food&Friends, a wonderful organization that provides nutritional services, groceries and healthy homemade food delivered to those suffering from chronic life-threatening illnesses. What's the connection with doodles? Check out the info box on this page to find out...

While the event is free, you can make tax-deductible donations directly to Food&Friends, by clicking on the link below:

The main event on the beach is on Saturday, April 30 starting at 9:30 and goes until everyone is dog tired! (around 3pm). We follow the beach time with a "yappy hour" and then a dinner with our dogs --all on the deck at the Starboard. Coming in on Friday? There's also a kick-off "yappy" hour at The Starboard on Friday night. Bring your doodles to meet and greet on the Starboard's porch.

Remember to get or to bring a current Dewey Beach dog license. Purchase either one for the week, weekend or for a lifetime at idewey.com. Go to "shop id" and scroll down to dog permits, IDewey will not mail the dog license: Once you purchase your license, please print out your confirmation and bring it with you. You can either pick up the license at IDEWEY on New Orleans St (next door to Rita's) or Justin, from IDewey, will bring it to the beach on Saturday.

The following hotels have special rates for the weekend: Hyatt Place Dewey, Atlantic Oceanside Motel, Bewitched and Bedazzled Inn, Lazy L B&B in Lewis, The Homestead B&B. Remember to mention the DoodlesinDewey Romp when making your reservation. All allow up to two dogs per room. The Homestead is for adults only.
