FOSCA News:

Tails are wagging all over Los Alamos in anticipation of the 2026 Los Alamos Dog Jog, to be held Saturday, April 25. 

The Dog Jog is an annual fundraiser for the Friends of Shelter and Companion Animals (FOSCA), an all-volunteer organization that uses this money to provide funding for spay/neuter programs and veterinary care for ill and injured dogs and cats whose owners cannot afford expensive care for their beloved pets.

The Dog Jog Committee is calling on all creative young artists to put their imaginations and love of dogs to work by submitting a drawing for the 2026 Dog Jog Logo Contest! The Logo Contest is open to youngsters in third through sixth grades whose family lives or works in Los Alamos County.

The winning design will be used as the official 2026 Los Alamos Dog Jog logo and will be placed on event t-shirts and other official event materials. The Logo Contest winner will also receive one free t-shirt. 

The contest entry form and guidelines can be found online at www.lafos.org. The deadline for entries is March 6, 2026. Direct questions about the Dog Jog to 505.660.1648.
