Get ready to warm up with a nice drink and some pups! We will be at Deep River Brewing Company on December 15 from 5-8pm with adoptable dogs for their Pints for Pooches event. A portion of all beer sales will be donated to help the animals, so come on down and grab a glass at Johnston County’s first legal brewery! You can bring your own pup and even get a photo with Santa Paws if you’d like! While you’re hanging out, be sure to stop by the vendors’ booths: Pawsitivity Designs, Underbite Pet Boutique, Pet Wants East Raleigh, and Binky & Bell. Bonus points if you wear your ugly sweater!

Dog Wash Fundraiser
11:00 am-3:00 pm
12/17/2022
Unleashed – Creedmoor
7408 Creedmoor Road Raleigh, NC 27613
https://www.secondchancenc.org/dog-wash-sign-up/
Bring your dog to Unleashed and Second Chance volunteers will bathe your pup for you! Spare you knees, back, and bathroom by making a contribution to Second Chance (recommended $10 per dog) so more stray and abandoned cats and dogs can get their second chances to find love. Cash, check, and credit card are all accepted on-site; your dog can get a bath as a walk-in or you can make an appointment via our website.
Dog washes are the third Saturday of each month, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in January and February, and from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in March through December.
We strongly encourage you to make an appointment–doing so will reduce or eliminate your wait time and you can even pre-pay for greater convenience if you’d like. To schedule a wash, click HERE. The reservation system opens at 12:00 noon on the first day of each month and closes at 11:00 a.m. the day before the wash or when all appointments are booked, whichever comes first. We will always have room for walk-ins.
Our volunteers will follow any COVID-related protocols in place at the time, whether the precautions are set by Wake County, the City of Raleigh, Unleashed, or Second Chance. We encourage dog wash customers to do the same. If you have any questions about the protocols in place at the time of your scheduled wash or the dog wash itself, please contact us at Rachel@SecondChanceNC.org.
