Saturday Dog Wash to Benefit Pets and Owners in Need

San Dieguito Academy Animal Care Club in San Dieguito Academy High School in Encinitas, Ca will have a Dirty Dogs fundraiser 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at 2107 San Elijo Ave.

San Dieguito Academy Animal Care Club in San Dieguito Academy High School in Encinitas, Ca will have a Dirty Dogs fundraiser from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at 2107 San Elijo Ave.

The fundraiser will include a dog wash, bake sale, raffle baskets, silent auctions, and free dog toy giveaways all while a live band plays. The cost to wash one dog is $20.

The earnings will be spilt up into different categories that will be donated to animal rescue and pet owners with financial difficulties to take care of their animals with medical care.

The last portion of the proceeds will be spent on buying fabric, which will be made into blankets and be donated to shelters.

“I am so proud to be the president of a club of students who are so active in this community as well as in animal rescue,” stated Dana Smith, the president of the San Dieguito Academy Animal Care Club.

The organization's goal this year is to wash 65 dogs.

In a similar event, last year, the group raised more than $600, according to a press release.

Hi Edward, I didn't hear any reports on the scanner or from sources of crashes, rescues or hardRead More landings.

The public deserves an objective, unemotional, factual public debate on this proposition. So far IRead More am still leaning toward a yes vote, but I am keeping an open mind at least through this month.

'Batman' already mentioned the main inequality; Women have the grand privilege of choice for bearingRead More children. No matter how bad a man wants to become a father, it's up to some woman to decide to provide a child for him. Traditionally in our society, men are obligated to pay for dating and are expected to afford to provide for the family as women seek this economic stability in men, and will often dismiss a lesser paid man as a potential mate. Perhaps when most women are paying for everything or contributing equally while first dating, and continued into the relationship or when raising a family after marriage, then economic equalities will become more important.

Of course women don't have the same standing as men, they don't have the same hardware either. ButRead More they do have considerably more responsibility in our society. They are the ones who have the responsibilty and the honor of bringing new life into the world. And caring for and nurturing the babies and small children. Men can't do this, no matter how hard they try to act like women. Can you imagine a fella giving birth? Believe me, a fella couldn't take it. Can you imagine a fella breast feeding a baby? You have got to be kidding! Can you just imagine the jacked-up mess we'd be in if men had to do all this by themselves? We'd be extinct by now that's for sure!

Your right Jac, women do not have Equal Rights, they are treated as 2nd Class citizens here in theRead More USA. The ERA will not pass congress, you can blame it on the Republicans , but there a lot of Demo's also think we do not need to pass it...!!!
