CARDA is an all volunteer search and rescue organization providing K9 search and rescue teams to law enforcement and mutual aid call outs throughout the state of California. CARDA is a registered 501(c) charity.

We’ve been busy designing materials to promote this event. The California Rescue Dog Association, Inc. (CARDA) is the largest volunteer K-9 Search and Rescue Organization in the U.S. They are also one of the most active teams with over 100 certified dogs participating in search operations across the state of California and, when needed, in other parts of the world. They have traditionally not relied on donations, so this fundraiser is one of the first of this scale that they have attempted.

Pet Food Express will be donating all of the proceeds from the purchase of their pet wash tokens, at ten participating stores, on Saturday May 14 to CARDA. On that same day Natural Balance will also donate a percentage of their pet food sales, sold at those stores, to CARDA.

We are looking forward to the success of this fundraiser.
