2026 RETHINC RESCUE RINSE
WHY:
Because we love dogs, and giving back to our community is pretty cool too. The ReThinc Rescue Rinse is an annual charity dog wash, hosted by the team at ReThinc Advertising. Each year we gather as a community to raise funds for a local, no-kill shelter.
This year, 100% of donations will benefit Desert Tails Shelter. Dogs are not our whole world, but they make our worlds whole… ok who are we kidding – dogs are our whole world.
DOG-WASH + TOWEL DRY
With a donation of your choice, our friendly volunteers will give your dog a sweet and simple, harmless bath with a towel dry.
While the event is free, a simple $20 donation is suggested, and can even cover the costs to vaccinate a puppy.
SILENT AUCTION
Thanks to the generosity of our friends, partners, and greater community, you can bid on all kinds of goodies at the event.
From gift cards to local coffee shops to BarkBox goodies for your pup, don’t miss your chance to support a great cause and get something great in return.
FRESH TREATS &
FRIENDLY FACES
Nothing beats enjoying a fresh treat with your furry friend. We love meeting new people, catching up with old friends, and seeing our partners with their pooches out on a Saturday. We won’t make you sit or stay, but do ensure a waggin’ good time.
First time? We’re pawsitive we can help you with whatever questions you might have about the event!
Don’t see what you’re looking for? Reach out! We don’t bite.
While it’s free and open to the public, we suggest a minimum $20 donation.
100% of funds raised during the event will benefit Desert Tails Shelter.
Desert Tails Shelter is a non-profit dog rescue here in Phoenix, Arizona. They save dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments – helping every dog they save find their forever home. Desert Tails is volunteer run and 100% donor funded.
Dogs will be washed by a team of trained volunteers along with professionals from SOL Veterinary Animal Healing Center. Our volunteers are experienced dog lovers who help ensure every pup is comfortable, clean, and well cared for.
Each dog will receive a full wash using high-quality shampoo, a towel dry, ear cleaning, and complimentary nail trimming provided by CARE Surgery Center.
No appointment is necessary. Rescue Rinse operates on a first-come, first-served basis during the event hours, so feel free to stop by anytime between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
Rescue Rinse is more than just a dog wash. Guests can browse our silent auction, enter the raffle, meet adoptable dogs, enjoy free food and drinks while supplies last, shop local vendors, and enjoy music—all while supporting Desert Tails Shelter.
Yes! Enjoy coffee from Writer’s Block Coffee Truck, food from Einstein Bros. Bagels and BEG Bakery, and shop vendors including Bodacious Dog Treats, Freedom Dog Bandanas & Apparel, Shelter Dog Coffee….and more!
You’re still invited! While we’re still awaiting details on adoptable dogs, you might just find a furever friend or two!
The event is hosted at SOL Veterinary in Scottsdale. There is a large parking lot surrounding the building with additional street parking if necessary.
We bet your bestest bud is the goodest doggo on the block, but we require all dogs to be on a leash during the event.
