The Pella Police Department is holding a fundraiser Saturday (8/28).  Pella Police Captain Paul Haase has the details.

“It is a community 5K that we have set up.  This is a little bit different than your normal 5K in that we invited people to also bring their dogs to run in the event with them.  We’re raising funds for our community K-9 program.”

Currently, Pella doesn’t have a K9 unit and this fundraiser is a way to get the money needed for one.  Saturday’s ”Run With Your Pooch 5K” starts at 9am at Pella Christian High School.  You can sign up online at the Pella Police Department’s Facebook page or Saturday morning before the run.  Pella Police are also selling t-shirts to raise money for the K9 unit.
