Our beloved canines got to participate in a fantastic 'Dogs Gone Wild' day at the beach of swimming & playing off-leash & the dog owners had the opportunity this year to participate in an organized WALK with their on-leash dogs around the lake. To begin the day, EDDOG also sponsored an organized 5K RUN — 3 laps at the lake - without dogs. Beautiful ribbons were awarded for all finishers. It was a very exciting beginning to a joyous day!

We were able to create the best day of our canine companions year but we sure needed a lot of help, and we got it! EDDOG would like to thank our generous SPONSORS, VENDORS and VOLUNTEERS who all showed up to make sure our pups and their human companions were treated to a day of sun, sand, surf and many, many tennis balls.

Once again the El Dorado Dog Owners Guild (EDDOG) was fortunate to have very generous donors who provided exciting items for our raffle prizes and silent auction items at the 4th Annual 'Pooch Plunge & Laps at the Lake' event held Saturday August 18, 2012, at Cameron Park Lake in Cameron Park, California.

EDDOG wishes to thank the following donors for their support of our 4th Annual 'Pooch Plunge & Laps at the Lake! Many items were worth over $100+!!! All proceeds from the raffle prizes & silent auction items will go to the building of the off-leash dog park at Hacienda Park in Cameron Park. We also thank the Cameron Park Community Services District (CPCSD) for their sponsorship and ongoing support of our efforts. Please do your best to support the vendors and local retailers listed below who support our grass-root efforts!
