Charlie's Doghouse Fundraiser Helps Feed, Care For Rescues

The first annual fundraiser and adoption event, on Saturday,  featured $10 dog baths, refreshments, pet adoptions and family fun.

"For our first time, we were pretty happy with the turnout. The dog wash was pretty steady for the whole three hours," said owner Diana Schoeneck.

She added, "Everybody had a good time; it went really well. We raised $500 for the Chicagoland Dog Rescue, which goes towards vet bills and to help feed the dogs."

They also had a successful adoption as well and raffled off items like a dog bed, dog carrier, orchids, rose basket and more.

All proceeds went to Chicagoland Dog Rescue.
