An event dedicated to the dogs that give unconditional love and support to their human friends battling cancer is planned on Sunday, June 5.
Bark for Life is happening from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Fuji Park, 601 Old Clear Creek Road.
The American Cancer Society created Bark for Life in hopes of connecting members of the community who train service dogs and who are cared by service dogs. Funds raised during Bark for Life will be donated toward the research for cancer cures. Activities include a ceremonial walk around the park, a raffle, dog and owner look-a-like contests, face painting, and more. Dog owners are asked to leash their pets and make sure they are up to date on vaccinations.
The $10 admission includes a gift bag. To register, call 775-445-7350, or go to http://www.relayforlife.org/barkcarsoncitynv, or contact Kirsten Copeland at kirsten.copeland@carsontahoe.org.
