Bark in the Park (Durham Bulls)
Bark in the Park (Durham Bulls)
6:35 pm-10:00 pm

Durham Bulls Athletic Park
409 Blackwell St, Durham, NC 27701, USA
Bark in the Park is back! Bring your best four-legged friend to enjoy the Durham Bulls baseball game with you–tickets for the June 9 game are on sale now! The sale of each dog ticket is donated by the Bulls to the animals here at Second Chance, so it’s a great time for a great cause!
To get tickets for you and your dog, click HERE. You must purchase tickets in sections 124, 126, 128, 130, 132, or 134, and you must purchase a ticket for your dog.
Pertinent things to know related to COVID-19 are:
1. Because COVID-related regulations are constantly changing, tickets are only being sold on a month-by-month basis this season. You won’t be able to purchase a ticket bundle for all the games this year and will need to check back each month for that month’s game. (You can still save the date! Upcoming Bark in the Park games are July 21, August 18, and September 8.)
2. With the NC governor having lifted restrictions on capacity, the stadium will be operating at full capacity if the game sells out. However, there are still options for socially-distanced pod seating on a first-come, first-served basis.
3. Consistent with CDC guidelines and local laws, the Bulls no longer require vaccinated guests to wear masks. They do encourage those who are not vaccinated to wear a mask unless you are actively eating or drinking. The Bulls do not ask for proof of vaccination.
As usual, Second Chance volunteers will be ready and excited to “pet sit” your pup while you access parts of the stadium where non-service dogs are not allowed (food and drinks, restrooms, and so on).
Second Chance and the Durham Bulls appreciate your cooperation and patience as we navigate these changes in a new world–your safety and the well-being of Second Chance and Bulls personnel are our priority!

Unleashed – Creedmoor
7408 Creedmoor Road Raleigh, NC 27613
https://www.secondchancenc.org/dog-wash-sign-up/
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.
Second Chance has an online appointment-making system; while we do take walk-ins, and we do take on-site payment even for those who chose to register (but not pay) online, we especially encourage advance registration and prepayment to:
–reduce or eliminate your wait time
–have fewer people waiting at one time to reduce the spread of COVID-19
–pay for the wash without needing to exchange cash, credit cards, or checks with our volunteers (again, to reduce the spread of COVID-19)
We hope this will make your experience better and safer. 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 or second 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.
When you arrive at Unleashed:
Because the City of Raleigh and Wake County now require masks indoors, Second Chance now requires dog wash volunteers and customers to wear a face mask. We continue to encourage our customers to stay at least 6 feet away from Second Chance volunteers, Unleashed staff, and all other customers as much as you are able to.
If you will need additional accommodations for safety precautions, please use our online reservation system to make your appointment and let us know what your needs will be (e.g., our volunteers can assist with curbside pick-up of your dog so that you can stay in the car if needed) so that we can do our best to make plans to help. While we cannot guarantee accommodation, we will do our absolute best!

10:30 am-11:30 am

Bliss Body Yoga
4035 Lake Boone Trail, Suite 111, Raleigh, NC 27607
Bliss Body Yoga and yoga instructor (and Second Chance volunteer!) Megan Lott invite you to a morning of Gentle Flow on Saturday, June 26, for a good cause! Megan will be instructing a Gentle Flow class–whether newcomer or veteran yogi, you’ll enjoy a soothing practice that combines the deep stretching of Yin yoga with gentle flowing yoga. You’ll practice long holds for the connective tissues and joints, as well as delicate, slow flows to relieve tension, relax the body, and quiet the mind. Find your inner peace while helping animals in need!
The class will last from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM and is open to all levels. This class is yoga by donation: you choose to pay $10, $15, or $20, and Bliss Body Yoga is donating 100% of your payment to the stray and abandoned cats and dogs served by Second Chance Pet Adoptions.
There are two options for this class: attend virtually or in-person.
Live Stream at Home
Participate live online with your phone, tablet, or computer. There is room for 30-35 virtual attendees, so “space” is limited! Register online, and then a Zoom link will be emailed to you about an hour before the class starts. The live feed opens around 15 minutes before the class begins. No yoga gear at home? No problem! Participants can use everyday objects like pillows and scarves throughout the class in replacement!
Attend in Studio
Participate in person at Bliss Body Yoga on Lake Boone Trail! There is only room for 14 in-person participants, so make sure you get registered! Those who are fully vaccinated are not required to wear a mask (though they can if they’d like to). Bliss Body Yoga asks those who are not fully vaccinated to wear masks (or participate from home through the live stream). Due to COVID-19, Bliss Body Yoga is not currently lending out yoga gear; you may bring your own, purchase gear there (to keep after the class), or take the course without equipment or with substitute items brought from home.
Bliss Body Yoga is located at 4035 Lake Boone Trail, Suite 111, Raleigh, NC 27607. (It is next door to Vic’s Ristorante.) After you park, you’ll walk around the building to access the front door.
Are you interested in participating? Get registered today to secure your spot! To register for either the Live Stream or In-Studio versions of the class, please click here. You will need to create an account to register. Make sure to select the course (In-Studio or Livestream) you want for Second Chance Pet Adoptions.
