Officials from FETCH A Cure and Henrico County unveiled the fourth FETCH A Cure public art installation in the Metro Richmond region Sept. 16 at Deep Run Park.

The organization’s steel dog statue is designed to remind dog owners to check their pets for the early warning signs of cancer. FETCH also helps owners whose pets have been diagnosed with the disease.

It’s the second FETCH art installation in Henrico; the first was unveiled at Short Pump Park. Each year, the steel dog sculptures are sponsored by businesses, veterinary practices and individuals, then transformed into community works of art by area artists.

The Deep Run Park steel dog sculpture is sponsored by Canine Adventure, Holiday Barn Pet Resorts, RedRidge Pet Market and Subaru of Richmond.
