The activity on the Norwood municipal parking lot one day every June takes on a very different look than your typical car wash. While automobiles are receiving a good wash, it’s the four-legged canines that draw a double take. Yes, on Sunday, June 6, the Bay State Animal Cooperative (BSAC) is hosting is Annual Dog/Car Wash!
Volunteers take time out of their busy Sunday to help raise funds for the organization, but the event also offers more than Fido and his car receiving a good spring cleaning. The Dirty Dawg Wash will graciously give their time cutting dog nails, and a veterinarian and a BSAC veterinary technician are donating their services to give out rabies vaccinations and microchipping. The schedule for the day is as follows:
Car Wash: 9 a.m.-2 p.m. ($10)
Dog Wash: 9 a.m.-2 p.m. ($8)
Rabies Clinic: 10-11:30 a.m. ($10)
Microchipping: 10-11:30 a.m. ($20)
Nail Clipping: 10 a.m.-1 p.m. ($5)
This fundraiser is not only a successful resource for the BSAC, it is a fun and eventful day for all involved; volunteers, residents, dog owners, children, and the community who truly seem to enjoy taking in the unusual site!
