On May 5, 2019, we return to Dorothea Dix Park for our annual Racing for Rescues event! Participate in one of two timed 5K runs (one with dogs, one without) or our casual fun walk (dogs welcome)! Explore the vendor village, snack on goodies from the food truck, and meet the adoptable dogs of Second Chance Pet Adoptions! It’s a great time for a great cause, supporting the rescue of approximately 150 stray and abandoned animals per year.

To ensure everyone has a fun and safe experience at the Bark in the Park events, please read and follow this important information:

• We will have plenty of volunteers who will be more than happy to pet sit your dog should you need to briefly leave these areas for restroom breaks or to grab some food.
• All dogs must be current on their vaccinations.
• Dog owner assumes responsibility for the action of their dog for the duration of the Bark in the Park event.
• All dogs must be kept on fixed length leash (no longer than 8 ft.) at ALL TIMES. No retractable leashes, no dogs off leash.

Bring your dirty pup to Unleashed on Creedmoor and we’ll take care of bath time for you! Spare your knees, back, and bathroom with a donation for the animals of Second Chance Pet Adoptions (suggested $10 donation per dog). Cash, check, and card all accepted.

Starting in March 2019, Second Chance is using an online sign-up system so that you may select your appointment time! We hope this will make your experience even better as we virtually eliminate your wait time and offer the convenience of pre-payment. You may now make an appointment by clicking HERE!

Each month, the online reservations will open up at 12:00 noon Eastern on the first day of the month. Online reservations will close 24 hours in advance of the wash (at 11:00 a.m. Eastern on the day before the wash) OR once all appointments are booked.

As we transition from “first come, first served” to online reservations, we may make some changes to this system based on customer feedback. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition; keep an eye on our event calendar for the most up-to-date information.

***PLEASE NOTE: Second Chance is not affiliated with this event, nor will we be in attendance–this is a courtesy listing for dog lovers. 🙂
