Dog washes and more for charity

Want to generate support for local K-9 service units, both the dogs and their handlers? Bring your dog to one of the five Dogtopias in Virginia — including Alexandria and Manassas — this Sunday for their annual dog wash fundraiser that will do just that. The sixth of its kind and sponsored by K-9 Support Inc., each location will feature different things, such as bake sales, raffles, dog massages, agility courses, dog adoptions, pet photographers, face painting and games for kids. Canines from non-profit Hero Dogs Inc., which places service dogs with U.S. veterans wounded while serving, will be present, along with other charities.
