The money raised from the event will help raise money for a trip to the Westminster Kennel Dog Show in 2016 for the school’s senior veterinary science and companion animal students.

Walk-ins are welcome during the event, but if you are looking to save a little time, you can make an appointment by calling (978) 304-4700, ext. 6201 or emailinggrooming@essextech.net.

There will be baths for the dogs only, no haircuts, and you may pay by either cash or check.

“These are great kids and we would love for them to all be able to attend,” said Essex Tech teacher Kate Meehan. “Fundraising helps so much, especially with our kids who come from less fortunate families.”

Essex Technical High School is located at 565 Maple St. in Hathorne.
