Officers Sellers & Sirius

Chino Valley Canine Obedience Training Club would like to thank everyone who helped with the inaugural Territorial Dog Stroll on March 29 at Memory Park in Chino Valley.

The stroll was created to benefit our Chino Valley Police Department K9 unit. Officer Sellers with Officer Sirius led the stroll.

“Our first stroll was a huge success and great fun,” said Donna Armstrong, organizer of the Stroll.

“Thank you for all of the support I received from my committee: Linda Zimmerman, Erin McKee, Lisa Duntly, Kerry Shultz and club President Sharon Bryan.

”Town staff did an amazing job concurring the weeds and closing Reed Road. Make It Happen Marketing donated their time and expertise to get the word out. The Arizona Rangers–Granite Mountain Company not only kept us safe as we strolled, but donated $500 to CVK9.”

We couldn’t have done this without our sponsors who donated goodies for our Welcome Bags and raffle. APS came through, as they always do, for our tri-city community with tote bags and water bottles, along with Chino Valley Animal Hospital , Penny Hubble-State Farm, Circle L Animal Hospital, and Olson’s Grain.

Other donors included A 2 Z Hardware, CV Jewelers, CV Liquor, CV Pharmacy, Earthworks Garden Center, J & R Nails, Napa Auto Parts, Sew-n-Sew, and Up N Smoke.

There were so many great gifts, along with refreshments provided by Over Flow Coffee and Encore Donuts.
