Dogtopia San Marcos will serve as San Diego host to a National Charity Dog Wash – all to support Paws With A Cause® – Saturday, June 6 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Dogtopia San Marcos, located at 925 W. San Marcos Blvd. (92078), is teaming up with local PAWS® volunteers to wash San Diego’s furry family members and raise money for veterans and their assistance dogs. This is Dogtopia’s 11th Annual Charity Dog Wash, and they are aiming to raise $40,000 countrywide this year. Dogtopia has raised more than $130,000 over the last 11 years.

Paws With A Cause veteran programs train and match assistance dogs with veterans – enhancing their quality of life, helping with healing/recovery and often, providing a new outlook on life.

San Diegans can get involved by making donations, or bringing their pooches in for a wash at a $15 requested donation.

The event will feature a silent auction, food, giveaways, photos, plus fun and games for the whole family. Paws4Shots, a local mobile veterinary, will also be on-site, offering affordable, preventative veterinary care, such as vaccines and services for dogs and cats.

Dogtopia is looking for event volunteers; those interested can sign up by sending an email to [email protected].
