Ruffin’ It Resort is pleased to announce the 4th Annual ‘Great Pumpkin Bark-Away’, this year benefiting our own local Capital K9s.
The Madison Police Department’s K9 unit is a non-profit organization staffed by community volunteers. All the costs of the patrol K9 teams (except for officer salaries) are provided by community donations. The department’s K9 unit, made up of 6 dogs, provides a great service to the community; tracking missing persons, apprehending suspects and locating evidence. They allow patrol officers to work in a safer and more efficient manner and perform functions that human officers are simply unable to do. Check out the team http://www.cityofmadison.com/police/specialunits/k9/
Throughout the month of October, Ruffin’ It Resort suggests a $5.00 donation and in return individuals can choose a FREE pumpkin from Ruffin’ It Resort’s ‘pumpkin patch’. The pumpkins are gorgeous this year- a real barker crop! Many pumpkins galore, all unique in shape and size, but all here to make a difference in the lives of our Capital K9s.
As a final celebration to the month-long fundraiser, Ruffin’ It Resort will host what has become a perennial favorite Howl-O-Ween Party. Humans and their four-legged ghouls & goblins are invited to join in the festivities October 28th from 7:15-9:00 PM at Ruffin’ It Resort. A $10.00 door donation will provide guests with a night full of howling fun. There will be many ‘paw’riffic games, costume contests, photos, spirits & treats. Come and celebrate Howl-O-Ween and support Capital K9s!
