As a reminder, this is the year for our silent auction at The DockDogs World Championships.

We have all struggled with the world turned upside down with the Coronavirus. The B.A.A.R.K. Foundation has been inundated with requests for assistance with some exceptionally large vet bills.

We need your support in helping with the auction this year. The clubs can do a basket of your choice. Individuals with a talent or just wanting to donate an item will be accepted with grateful appreciation.

We hope to see some of those creative and talented baskets that we have seen in the past.

We thank you for your support and let us make this the best auction ever!

Tina McLaughlin and the B.A.A.R.K. Foundation Board
