Dog Ownership
Many people enjoy having a dog for companionship, security and having fun, but everyone who owns a dog must be aware of their responsibilities.
Being a responsible dog owner is about understanding your pet's needs and your responsibilities to the community.
Your dog's health, your children's safety, and your community wellbeing are largely dependent on you.
