Help CARDA search-and-rescue dogs save lives

The California Rescue Dog Association (CARDA) is the largest all volunteer K9 Search-and-Rescue Organization in the U.S.  Over 140 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. 

On Saturday May 14, 2011, Pet Food Express stores will be hosting CARDA for a fundraiser. CARDA search dogs and their handlers will be at 10 participating stores to meet the public.  All proceeds from pet wash tokens sold that day will go to CARDA. Buy a pet wash token at one of the participating Pet Food Express Stores listed below on May 14, 2011 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. 

Natural Balance Pet Foods is also supporting this event.  A portion of the proceeds from Natural Balance Foods purchased on May 14 at the 10 participating Pet Food Express locations will be donated directly to CARDA.
