August 25, 2010 (Chicago, IL) – Zen Dogs Chicago, an eco-friendly dog boarding and training facility in Chicago, is proud to support the fundraising efforts of Youth Outreach Services (YOS) with a generous donation of an all-inclusive Zen Dog Weekend Retreat for the upcoming Charity Bags Tournament.

The tournament, hosted by the YOS Auxiliary Board members, will take place on Saturday August 28th at Joe’s Bar. During the tournament, all attendees can purchase raffle tickets for the chance to win the 2-day boarding donation from Zen Dogs Chicago.  

Long-time Zen Dog client and YOS Auxiliary Board Member Elena Gonzalez says the donation is ideal for individuals who travel often but feel guilty about leaving their dog with strangers. “Weekend boarding with Zen Dogs Chicago is a wonderful treat for my two-year old shepherd mix. I know he is well-cared for with 24/7 supervision and all-day play within a well-balanced pack of dogs.”

Cynthia Russell, Owner and Head Trainer of Zen Dogs Chicago, is proud to support a local organization like YOS. Russell explains, “Zen Dogs Chicago is committed to bettering the communities we serve. We do this by fostering shelter animals, educating our client-base, and donating to organizations that fill an important need.” visit http://www.zendogschicago.com/about to learn more about the Zen Dog philosophy.
