Just in time to wash those dirty dogs

Dogs across Carson Valley are "thrilled" it's time for the Dirty Dog Wash.

The event will take place 11 a.m. through 2 p.m. Saturday at Animal Medical Services at 1355 Centerville Lane in Gardnerville.

Suggested minimum donation for each dog wash is $10.

Internationally acclaimed pet and people psychic Terri Jay will provide "crossing-over"-style readings for $20. You do not need to have your pet present or a picture available. Jay's readings are insightful and fun.

Scott Gahagen's Nevada Mobile Music will be on hand to provide music and help keep the doggie games exciting. Doggie musical chairs gets the pets and kids involved and your pet may win a prize from Max's Pet Supplies.

Also volunteering at the event will be 14-year-old Landon Wynar who is working on his Eagle Scout project and he will be accepting donations of new or gently used pet supplies such as crates, collars, leashes, etc. which will be passed along to DAWG and the Douglas County Animal Shelter.

Donations benefit the non-profit DAWG which works to find homes for adoptable pets sheltered at the Douglas County Animal Shelter. They also improve the quality of life for animals currently sheltered through daily exercise and socialization. DAWG encourages responsible pet ownership through community education, sponsor/coordination of low-cost microchip, rabies, spay and neuter clinics.
