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.) 

Our goal for 2008 is $4200 for Duranda dog beds, grooming scissors and brushes for dogs, sturdy plastic yard chairs for public, repair of viewing cages, landscaping, and installation of waterless grass in a dog exercise/walking area.  Please help us meet it!


The Bark at the Park thanks PetSmart Palmdale East for it's generous sponsorship at the Blue Ribbon level.

Our previous Barks at the Park were big successes.  See photos.
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!
