Want to volunteer?

The purpose of Bark at the Park is to promote responsible dog ownership and to have fun with our dogs and community. Proceeds benefit the Los Angeles County Animal Shelter in Lancaster. (choose Lancaster from the drop-down menu.) 

Your donations at work.

Through your generous donations at the 2007 and 2008 Bark at the Park we were able to purchase 42 PetCot dog beds for the LA County Animal Shelter in Lancaster, and help supply the artificial grass for the "get acquainted yard". These were badly needed and much appreciated. Thank you to all attendees for supporting the Bark at the Park.

The Bark at the Park thanks PetSmart Lancaster, Palmdale West, and Palmdale East for their generous sponsorship at the Blue Ribbon level.

Our previous Bark at the Parks were great fun.  See photos. (New photos added Apr. 22, 2009)
Thank you to the more than 5,000 attendees, donors, vendors, community and rescue groups, entertainers, volunteers, and City of Lancaster staff.  Because of you, over $6000 was raised for rescues, shelters and community groups!
