Dog Days of Summer, Tagg and Friends

The Gresham Police Department is hosting a tail-wagging free community event for the whole family to enjoy. See K-9 units from around the metro area train. 

Community members can meet Tagg, the Gresham Police comfort dog and his friends including Remi from Beaverton; Burt from Multnomah County Sherrif’s Office; and Onyx from Tualatin.

Enjoy refreshments and fun activities for children, including the water balloon throw. Take your shot at soaking the command staff in uniform – $1 for four throws! My Father’s House will be collecting non-perishable donations to help families in need. If you bring a donation, you'll receive extra water balloon throws.  

Friendly dogs (leashed) are welcome! We look forward to seeing everyone.
