Youth group members washed about 30 dogs Saturday, then towel dried them and sent them off with a treat bag.
It was the second year in a row for the dog wash. McDowell said the event last year raised about $500 to help fund a trip to Minnesota, where the youth helped build a house for Habitat for Humanity.
