A fundraiser for Black Diamond K-9 Unit Sept. 15 raised $1,561.

Many people from the greater Black Diamond community showed their generosity and their love of dogs on Sept. 15 when they came out for a fundraiser in support of the Black Diamond Police’s K-9 Unit.

Black Diamond’s police dog, Sabre, and the K-9 program rely on donations to fund certain aspects of the dog’s care. 

Organized by Save Black Diamond, the day centered around dog-themed activities.

People also brought their dogs for a portrait shoot by Doug Ostgard Photography.

There was also a chance to speak to a professional dog trainer.

The event also featured a raffle in which over 18 local businesses donated prizes.

Community volunteers donated bake sale items.
