7th Annual Ventura County K9 Fundraisar Walk/Run

K9 Just look at that cute face!!!

Did you know that Ventura County Sheriff's Department's Canine Unit is funded by private donations from the loving and caring citizens of Ventura County? These loving creatures have dedicated their lives to saving us in the event of an emergency.  So it's time we all supported our brave Canine Unite.

On Saturday, October 13, 2007 the Ventura Sheriff's K9 Foundation is hosting a 9K Walk/Run & Safety Fair. This event is to take place in Camarillo's Continuation Park. If you wish to walk/run you can register at the park (8:00 am) or pre-register here. Registration is $30 and all money raised will benefit the Ventura County Sheriff's Department K9 Unit.
 The event and walk/run begins at 9:00 am. The course is set to take the walkers/runners through the beautiful City of Camarillo. At the Park the Sheriff Department has arranged entertainment, safety fair, food, and raffles for the public.

Mana... 9K is a bit of a hike,  Are you entering the event?  I'll be hitting the road Saturday morning for the Hartford Half Marathon... 13.1 miles

Dan, I am still in a cast. I have a fractured Talus bone and a stressed Achilles Tendon, so I am out of commission for a while. Anyways, my husband is the runner, I am the fast walker.

Mana--What a great fundraiser! Amazing animals--Good post!

Mana - What a treat for the trainers, dogs, and kids who all get to attend and watch with amazement!  Do you attend this event?  I would be all over it...

Mana... That's right... You mentioned you were somewhat house bound just the other day.  Normally I'm good remembering all the details.

Mana, this sounds like a great event for your area.  I'm not sure about you but the weather here is great!  It would be perfect for this type of event.  It could also be a good event for you to pass out some bottled water with your info on it!

Mana, it looks like a wonderful event.  There is an organziation in Denver that raises money for bloodhounds.  Some years ago a little girl was abducted and murdered, and it was a bloodhound her found her body, after tracking her scent for miles (she had been in a car or truck and he still tracked her).  The organization was started by her Grandfather.  Dogs do so much for us and it is nice to see people appreciate them.

K-9's are such a huge asset to the force - good for you to support them with this publicity

Teri, Thank You, They are for sure man's best friend.

Susie, My kids love attending these types of events. It is so much fun for the whole family.

Dan, Yep, that would be me still house bounded. The thing is that is my right foot so I can not drive at all.

Kimberly, So far we are having a HOT fall. The weather forecast for that day is sunny and beautiful. It is going to be a blast.

Joanne, That is such a sad story. Bloodhounds are amazing dogs. I hope people in your area keep that foundation alive.

Thesa, Thank you. I have a great respect for the K-9 unit Dogs and their owners.

 

I love these dogs! they are the cutest!!! and SMART... it amazes me but I believe these dogs are smarter than some of the general population,  UGH did I say that out load??

Katrina, Yeah, you said that out loud, but I agree with you 100%.

Hi Mana,

Looks like fun to me. Very clever play on works, K9-9K. Sould be a fraction under six miles, right? Hope it's successfull for all.

Lynda, So nice to hear from you again. I think that's about right 9k is less than 6 miles.

Mana,

I love those police dogs.  We have a k9 academy here in town that trains police dogs.  I hope your local event was a great success. 

Rita, Thank you for asking, the local event was a lot of fun.
