It's that time of year again! Two of Lakewood's favorite institutions are getting together to raise funds for our city's homeless pets. This is a great opportunity to have fun, help a good cause, and clean your pooch!

The Citizens Committee for a Lakewood Animal Shelter (CCLAS) will hold its Annual Dog Wash on Saturday, July 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Dog Wash will be held at Nature’s Bin, located at 18120 Sloane Avenue, Lakewood. Proceeds from the Dog Wash will support programs for, and pay expenses of, the Lakewood Animal Shelter.

CCLAS is a non-profit organization that helps support the Lakewood Animal Shelter. CCLAS covers expenses for adoption kits, spaying/neutering, and other miscellaneous goods and services provided by the Shelter.

Prices for the Dog Wash are $10 for small dogs, $15 for medium dogs, and $20 for large dogs. CCLAS asks that patrons bring their own towels and combs.

If you’re interested in volunteering for the event or have any additional questions, please contact CCLAS volunteer, Lisa Ellis, at 216-221-3290 or lisaellis@ameritech.net. Also, visit CCLAS at www.cclas.info.
