“Barking” on Sunshine! Northern Californians Rally to Fight Cancer
More than 700 Los Gatos area dog lovers joined together on Sunday, October 9, at the Morris Animal Foundation K9 Cancer Walk at Vasona Lake Park, in an effort to help their furry best friends live longer, healthier, cancer-free lives. The walk raised over $81,000.
Cancer is a cause that touches many of our hearts and it continues to be the no. 1 cause of death in dogs over the age of 2. Morris Animal Foundation will use proceeds from the walk to fund studies that will help create a healthier tomorrow for your dog and we can’t thank you enough!
More than 50 teams participated in the Top Dogs Contest. We are happy to announce the Top Dogs Contest winners:
Most Team Spirit: German Shepherd Group
Top Team: Grooming TLC, with more than $5,000 raised
Most Team Members:Society Dog’s Team Kelsey, with 34 members
Top Fundraiser (individual): Sue Stretch, with more than $3,000 raised
