🤝 Why This Event Matters

New Leash on Life USA is a nonprofit on a powerful mission: to rescue at-risk dogs while supporting justice-involved individuals through training and employment. Each pup-handler duo thrives, leading to more adoptions, fewer recidivism incidents, and transformed lives.

This event serves a double purpose:

Celebrate their life-changing work.
Raise awareness for future adoptions, training initiatives, and volunteer opportunities.

And what better way to do so than with dog pools, cold treats, and summer fun?
