Tagg's Dog Days of Summer

Tagg, the Gresham Police Department’s comfort dog, invites the community to the fourth annual Tagg’s Dog Days of Summer event in the back/west lot of Gresham City Hall.

This free, family-friendly event supports the Gresham Police Department’s K-9 Unit and offers something for everyone, from those curious about police K-9 work to families, individuals and dog lovers of all ages looking to enjoy a warm September day in their community.

In addition to supporting the Gresham Police K-9 Unit, My Father’s House will be collecting nonperishable food donations and school supplies to help local families in need.

This year’s event features exciting demonstrations from local police K-9 teams that are part of the East Metro K-9 Training Unit, including agencies from Gresham, Oregon City, Gladstone, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office and Lake Oswego.
