The community is invited to participate in the second annual Bark for Life event, which will be held on Saturday, June 27 from 7:30-10 a.m. at the Duarte Teen Center, 1401 Buena Vista St.
The Bark for Life event is a fundraising effort to honor the lifelong contributions of canine caregivers and support the American Cancer Society’s mission of eliminating cancer through research, education, advocacy and service. Canine caregivers along with canine companions, guide dogs, service dogs, therapy dogs, police dogs, cancer-survivor dogs and diagnostic dogs will come together to celebrate survivorship and honor caregivers lost to cancer.
The event will also feature pet-appropriate vendors and adoptions.
The Duarte Public Safety Rabies Vaccination Clinic in collaboration with VetCare will run from 8-10 a.m. They will feature rabies vaccines for $8 each, microchip registration for $40 and other types of vaccinations will also be available upon request.
Residents can also purchase their City of Duarte dog/cat licenses at the event.
The yearly fee for unaltered dogs is $48 and $25 for spayed or neutered canines. Seniors 65 years and older are eligible for one free dog license if the pet is spayed or neutered. Cat licenses cost $20 if spayed or neutered and $40 for unaltered cats.
