Dirty Dogs for a Good Cause: Dog Wash Fundraiser & Adoption Event
Bring your dirty dogs and help support animals in need! Join Happy Life Animal Rescue at Choice Pet in Patterson, New York, on Sunday, August 30th, for a special Dog Wash Fundraiser and Small Pet Adoption Event.
During the event, bring your dog to Choice Pet for a refreshing wash. Proceeds from every dog wash purchased during the event will benefit Happy Life Animal Rescue, helping us continue providing rescued animals with veterinary care, food, shelter, transportation, and the support they need while waiting for loving homes. Your dog gets to leave looking and feeling fresh—and your visit helps give another animal a happier future!
In addition to the dog wash fundraiser, a small group of adoptable animals will be at Choice Pet to meet potential families. Please note that this is a smaller adoption event, so not every animal currently available through Happy Life Animal Rescue will be in attendance. The animals joining us will be ready to make new friends and meet people who may be interested in adoption.
If you are searching for a dog adoption event near Patterson, New York, this is a great opportunity to meet some of our available animals, speak with our team, and learn more about our adoption process. Attendance at the event does not guarantee adoption, and all adoptions are subject to Happy Life Animal Rescue’s standard application and approval process.
Looking for even more adoptable pets? Our larger adoption event will take place the following day, Sunday, August 16. Be sure to visit our event calendar for complete details about Sunday’s event and another opportunity to meet animals searching for their forever homes.
Whether you are ready to adopt, want to support animal rescue, or simply have a dog who could use a good bath, we would love to see you at Choice Pet in Patterson. Every wash makes a difference, so grab your pup, bring your dirty dogs, and join us for a fun Saturday fundraiser benefiting Happy Life Animal Rescue!
