Dog owners and their pets enjoyed last Saturday’s 9Th Annual Pooch Party at the “Central Bark” park.  The Florence Parks and Recreation Department partnered with Pinal County Animal Care and Control to offer dog licensing and various vaccinations at discounted rates.  The County also brought its Animal Adoption Trailer for those who wanted to adopt a pet.  Florence Police Department presented a demonstration with its K-9 unit as well. 

One of the most entertaining aspects of the event was the various dog competitions.  The following is a list of winners in each category:
