Wagoween Charleston 2024

Costume Contest for Dogs

Thanks for making this year’s event a fur-tastic success! With your help, we can make an even bigger paws-itive impact…

Help double the $23,000 we raised to benefit the Charleston Police Department’s K9 Unit and public safety initiatives.

Making Community Connections and Supporting the K9 Unit

Officers made new friends, and the LENS Foundation raised critical funds for the Charleston Police Department’s K9 Unit and public safety initiatives during the third annual Wagoween on October 13th at the Charleston Place Hotel.

Pups paraded through the hotel’s beautiful courtyard, where local celebrity judges awarded drool-worthy prizes.

The courageous K9 Unit of the Charleston Police Department demonstrated how it keeps our city safe while Watson and Holmes, the hero horses of the Mounted Patrol, greeted visitors and contestants.
