DOC BARKER, the Make-A-Wish Ambassador Dog, makes a new friend.
If you love dogs — and the idea of making wishes come true — spend part of your weekend at Rawhide with the Superstition Kennel Club.
The club is hosting the WAGS for WISHES® AKC All-Breed Agility Trials through Sunday at the western theme park, located at 5700 W. North Loop Rd. in Chandler.
This unique event, now in its fourth year in Arizona, attracts dog owners and lovers from all over the western U.S. to compete, partake in and enjoy a wide variety of dog-related competitions and events while raising funds for Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Arizona, a nonprofit organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
All competitions are sanctioned through national organizations, and include Agility, Flyball and SplashDog (dock diving). In addition, there are many activities that any dog can try, such as taking a herding instinct test with the Arizona Herding Association, dock diving at SplashDogs, Therapy Dog Testing, racing through “Lure for the Cure” (sponsored by the National Canine Cancer Foundation), obtaining a Canine Good Citizen certification, meeting DOC-BARKER the Make-A-Wish Ambassador Dog, watching the Best Dog Trick contest, posing for pet photography, and more.
Trial hours are 7am to 7pm daily, with judging commencing at 9am.
One hundred percent of your entry fee after expenses are paid will benefit Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Arizona and may be considered tax-deductible. Learn more about WAGS for WISHES®.
