RA iSe TH e W oo F PUP RA llY $5 White Rock Lake Dog Park will transform into a canine carnival during the Raise the Woof Pup Rally, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. For a $5 donation to the park, neighbors can browse scores of vendors and local rescue organizations, plus the Dallas Agility Working Group (DAWG) will perform. Beth Bowers of Power to the PawZ Pet Services will demonstrate CPR techniques for dog owners, offering insight on what to do in a pet emergency. Other groups plan to provide dog training tips, low-cost vaccinations and microchipping on site. The fundraiser also features a cookout and live music from ’90s cover band Grand Theft Audio. Since the dog park has limited parking, a shuttle bus will pick up participants and their pups starting at 9 a.m. at Dallas Bike Works, 6780 Abrams. For details, visit whiterockdallas.org. To volunteer at the event, call Lisa Stabler at 214.448.7860.
