Bel Aire dog wash, Valley Center microchip clinic set for Saturday

Dog wash to raise money for spays, neuters

The Retain dog wash is back for the summer, with volunteers cleaning canines for $5.

The service will be available from 2 to 5 p.m. every Saturday through Sept. 2, weather permitting, outside Heartland Animal Hospital, 4100 N. Woodlawn in Bel Aire. For $5, volunteers will shampoo, rinse and towel-dry dogs of any size.

Proceeds go to Responsible and Ethical Treatment of Animals in Neighborhoods, a local nonprofit group that helps pay for spay and neuter surgeries for pets whose owners can’t afford them.

Retain is also collecting donations for the local pet food bank.
