Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac, located at 137 Samoset Street in Plymouth, will host a dog “Groom-a-thon” to benefit the Friends of Plymouth Dog Park on Saturday, September 17, from 9 am to 5 pm. Friends of Plymouth Dog Park is a local non-profit looking to raise funds to construct a Dog Park in West Plymouth.
Zoomin Groomin, a local pet groomer, will park it’s mobile grooming unit at the lot at Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac. Complimentary grooming sessions for dogs will be available on a first-come, first served basis. While there is no charge to have your dog groomed, the recommended donation is $50-$100. One hundred percent of that money will be donated to the Friends of Plymouth Dog Park.
“There is federal grant money available for dog parks up to $250,000. The requirement is that towns come up with 10 percent of the construction costs. That means we need to raise $25,000,” said Gina Delaney, president of Friends of Plymouth Dog Park. “We can’t thank Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac and Zoomin’ Groomin’ for helping out our very worthy cause with this fundraiser.”
