Two New Orleans area canine rescue groups, Louisiana Boxer Rescue and Gulf Coast Doberman Rescue, Inc. have teamed together to hold a Dog wash fundraiser. "Oh You Dirty Dog" as the water and shampoo filled event has been dubbed. This wet and wild event will be held on Sunday, May 31, 2009 in the parking lot of Abadie Animal Hospital, located in Harahan, LA. They have sent up a howling round of thanks to Dr. Scott G. Abadie, DVM for his generous offer to use his property for event.
These non profit rescue groups rely on each other many times to help transport dogs from local area animal welfare shelters toward a common goal of rescuing, rehabilitating, providing food, shelter and medical care for abandoned, abused, neglected and sadly too often in this sad economy, owner surrendered dogs. The mission of these groups, run strictly by volunteers is to find new permanent homes for the dogs of their chosen breed. They work with local animal shelters and the LASPCA, joining in their efforts to educate the community about responsible dog ownership.
So Come one, come all our furry four pawed friends (owners welcome on a leash) and get squeaky clean for a good cause! Tell your friends! Make it a family event! It's good clean fun! Print out the full color poster or the small flyer to help them spread the word. What better way to spend a hot summer day!

Good luck with your fundraiser!! I do some volunteering with a Boxer Rescue here in Scotland www.boxerwelfarescotland.co.uk
ReplyDeleteI would pop in for a dog wash but I reckon it would cost me about $5000 to bring my Boxer over haha.
Best of luck hope it's a fun day that raises lots of $
