Dog-gone cute and clean: Dogtopia pet wash supports CMPD K9 Unit

Dog owners from across Charlotte took their pets to the seventh annual Dogtopia K9 Support Dog Wash on Saturday that benefits the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s K9 Unit.

The goal was to wash and groom at least 150 dogs and raise $5,000, with all proceeds going to the CMPD K9 Unit, Dogtopia of Charlotte owner Nicole Odom said.

Also in attendance was Dogs on Deployment, a national nonprofit dedicated to finding volunteers to board military pets while their owners are deployed overseas.
