Help CARDA search and rescue dogs save lives

On Saturday May 5th, Pet Food Express stores will be hosting CARDA search dog teams for a pet wash fundraiser. 

Buy a pet wash token at any Pet Food Express Store on May 5th and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to help CARDA search and rescue dogs continue their life-saving work.  You do not need to bathe your dog on the day of the dog wash:  you can save the tokens for later, give them to friends or donate them back to CARDA for use in bathing dirty search dogs! 

CARDA search dogs and their handlers will be at all Pet Food Express stores to meet the public.  The stores will also be accepting cash donations to CARDA at their registers for the entire weekend.

The California Rescue Dog Association (CARDA) is the largest all volunteer K9 Search and Rescue Organization in the U.S.  Over 100 highly trained and certified search dog teams are ready 24/7 to assist our communities in searches for lost and missing people.  CARDA members incur all costs of raising, training and deploying these dogs.  We rely on donations from people like you to continue supplying this vital service.
