San Diego Dog Wash Raises More Than $800

SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Animal Support Foundation cleaned up Saturday by raising over $800 during a dog wash an oranizer said.


Most of the money raised will go toward 24 spay and neutering programs in the San Diego area, said Darlene White, SDASF spokeswoman.



"We raised the money free and clear," White said. "I'm excited about it."

Some 44 pooches got the royal treatment, courtesy of volunteers from Dogs On The Run, a volunteer pet adoption group that supplied the elbow grease.


The event took place at the Dunk 'N Dogs Self-Serve Dog Wash, 3056 Clairemont Drive, on Clairemont Mesa.




The group may also use some of the money to help pay for surgery on a paralyzed dog, whose 19-year-old owner cannot afford the $3,800 operation, White said.


"She called, offering to scrub floors for us," to help her dog, said White. "We're hope to raise the money for the surgery."


In addition, volunteers at Saturday's event found new homes for 17 dogs.
