Welcome to the Retriever's Ball!
Support local rescue dogs, win incredible prizes!
🐾 Retriever's Ball - Mill Pond Fundraiser 🐾
Each year, High Sierra Animal Rescue releases hundreds of numbered balls into the Graeagle Mill Pond and asks a very good pup to fetch a lucky few. If your number gets pulled, you win a prize!
This year, we're raising funds to cover the cost of care for 6 puppies found in an active wildfire zone in Lassen County. 100% of proceeds go directly toward the dogs in our care.
📅 When: August 22nd, 11am–1pm
📍 Where: Graeagle Mill Pond (grassy area)
🐕 The Drawing: At 12:30pm, one of our helpful pups will jump into the pond and retrieve 6 numbered balls. Winners will be announced at the event and you do not need to be present to win!
Come meet adoptable dogs, enjoy family-friendly activities, and maybe win a really lovely prize.
How to enter:
Each entry is $5 per numbered ball, and every entry is logged on our official tracker. Numbers range from 1–1,200. The more balls you enter, the better your odds!
