Pennsylvania clinic to host second K9 Veterans Day event

Leader Heights Animal Hospital is paying tribute to local service dogs and their handlers

Leader Heights Animal Hospital is hosting its second annual K9 Veterans Day event to recognize, honor, and celebrate service animals from organizations in York County, Pa., and nearby areas.

Held on March 16, this rain-or-shine event takes place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. with the ceremony beginning at 1:30 p.m. The celebration is open to the public; however, the organizers are asking that pets stay at home to not distract the service animals.

The event includes:
• Hero awards for local service animals
• Memorializing fallen service animals in the clinic's K9 Memorial garden
• K9 demonstrations
• Free fingerprinting for children
• Dog pampering (with free laser therapy) and nail trims for all service animals
• Raising money for the West York K9 department and York County Sheriff's Office K9 department
• Free food
