FAQs
What is FOCCSO
The specific purpose of Friends of Craven County Sheriff's Office is to support the Craven County Sheriff's Office by providing funding to purchase necessities, and assist with community education. This includes both Animal Protective Services and the K9 Unit. FOCCSO is a 509C non-profit organization.
Can I bring my pet to Dunk-A-Doc?
Yes, it's actually encouraged! All dogs must be on a leash and cats must be in a carrier OR leash trained. Please note if your animal is not leashed, one will be provided for you.
What will there be for kids to do?
We are planning on having a bounce house, obstacle course, K9 Unit demonstrations, and a Junior Veterinary event, all geared towards kids ages 2-13!
What is the Junior Veterinary portion of the event?
Kids will be able to view x-rays, perform surgery (on stuffies, of course), bandage "wounds", and perform physical exams! All with the support of our team and FFA members from New Bern High School.
