Life is Crap ® Sponsors 6th Annual Scrub-a-Mutt Fundraiser to help Local Dog Rescue organizations.
Manchester Vermont (PRWEB) July 24, 2013 -- Scrub-A-Mutt is holding it’s sixth annual fundraising dog wash on Saturday, August 17, from 11AM to 4PM. And 'Life is Crap' is proud to be a part of it. The dog wash will be at the Strawberry Fields Athletic Park, 6100 152nd St. NE, Marysville, Washington.
Suggested donations for dog washes are $5 for small dogs and $10 for large dogs. Groomers and vet techs will be doing nail trims for a donation of $5. The first 250 dogs washed will receive a stylish bandana and a “doggy goodie bag.”
In addition to the dog washing, there will be vendor booths with dog-themed businesses like Furizzy and City Bones Barkery. Also joining the event is a wide array of dog rescue groups, including Bulldog Haven, Seattle Pug Rescue, the NOAH Center and more. Human visitors can enjoy snacks from Surf Shake Espresso, Sturgis Kettle Korn and Hillside Church.
This year, Scrub-A-Mutt is proud to welcome three Police K9 demonstrations - 11:30AM Snohomish County Sheriff’s Department, 1PM Everett Police Department, and 2:30PM Marysville Police Department. The Sun Dogs Agility Group will be on hand all day with demonstrations and a training course for new comers to the sport of agility.
“It seems like each year, our event gets more exciting.” said Elizabeth Woche, co-director of Scrub-A-Mutt. “Three police K9 demos, all day dog agility, fun new vendor booths - wow, even I can’t wait for event day!”
Scrub-A-Mutt primarily raises money for three local dog rescue organizations - Old Dog Haven, The NOAH Center and The Everett Animal Shelter. Additional rescue groups receive donations based on the amount of money raised at the event. 100% of event day proceeds are donated to rescue!
Old Dog Haven is a rescue group in Arlington that provides loving and safe homes for abandoned senior dogs. Their website and outreach program finds forever homes for dogs seven years or older.
The NOAH Center in Stanwood works towards stopping the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable dogs and cats and has a strong spay/neuter program. They partner with local shelters, providing pets a second chance for a home.
The Everett Animal Shelter and ARF (Animal Rescue Foundation) care for lost or unwanted pets from Snohomish County. ARF’s mission is to improve the quality of life for animals and their caretakers through increased community involvement and fundraising for the Everett Animal Shelter.

Scrub-A-Mutt was founded in 2008 after co-founder Jennifer Ward watched an Oprah show about puppy mills. Elizabeth and Jennifer created Scrub-A-Mutt as both an organization and an event with the concept of - Saving • Advocating • Making a difference - in the lives of companion animals. Scrub-A-Mutt is a 501c3 charity and donations are tax deductible.
“Animal abuse and mistreatment is a critical problem in this country”, says Life is Crap, co-owner Paul “save the pooches” Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler continues, “We are all animal lovers at Life is Crap & Life is Ruff, but have a particular affinity for dogs. No persona or animal should be abused. So the Life is Crap team applauds the good folks at ‘Scrub-a-Mutt’ and their worthy cause!”
The team in Vermont is delighted to be sponsoring and contribute to the event’s success. Dogs always bring a smile – and remember, “Crap Happens but Laughter is the Cure.
