Dog Wash - August 6, 2011

Here are some photos taken at our 13th Annual Dog Wash on August 6th at Weber's Pet Supermarket in Fairfax. We had a good turnout of dogs and many alumni showed up ... it's always the highlight of the hardworking volunteers' day to see the dogs so happy with their new families! In addition to washing, we offered nail clipping and ear cleaning.
Many thanks to the photographers Paul Knapp and Kim McCabe.
