here is less than a month until Bark For Life of Orcas Island.

The event is a noncompetitive walk for dogs and their owners to raise funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society’s fight against cancer.

“Now is the time for the animal-lovers of Orcas Island to register their pups and begin fund-raising with your four-legged friend! We have a few weeks till the event, and Bark For Life will be here before we know it,” said Taryn Somers, Community Relationship Manager.

Bark for Life is on Saturday, July 17 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. starting at the Orcas Island High School and heading over to the Orcas Off Leash Area.
