 PAST EVENTS

I was happy to be a sponsor of
Dogtopia's 5th Annual


Charity Dog Wash was held on
Sun., July 19, 2009   11am - 3pm

The event resulted in the washing of 148 dogs and raised over $2,500 for the canine unit -- enough to outfit two police vehicles for the dogs, with some left over for training equipment.
