How Can You Help?
There are many ways you can help us be more effective in our work:
- Take a look at our pamphlet, which can be downloaded and circulated, through pet stores, veterinary offices and other businesses related to dogs. Pass the pamphlet on to everyone you know, not just dog owners.
- Get involved on a working group. We welcome assistance from people who might like to get more involved with our efforts. If you have a few hours a month and want to help with our lobbying and education initiatives, please contact us at Citizen Canine
- Take the time to call and write politicians and the media stating your needs for access, and your interest in progressive animal policy.
- Pass the word on to other dog owners about Citizen Canine. Direct people to our website so they can join our group. Membership is free. Just click here. It is our goal to have every dog owner in the region linked into the Citizen Canine community.
- Consider making a donation to Citizen Canine. We are a new organization with no source of income except private donations. All funds go directly to supporting the work that the Citizen Canine does, including printing of information materials. Citizen Canine is fighting for all responsible dog owners. Many personal hours are going into this lobby. Financial support is crucial.
- Always, always, always pick up after your dog. Most dog owners do this but a few do not, or worse, pick up but leave the bag or throw it in the bush. Sadly, some will never conform but the rest of us can help. If you see someone neglecting to pick up, please speak up and offer a bag. If you come across bag left behind, please pick it up and discard it with your own.
- Organize a clean up day at your favorite dog off-leash area.
- Support dog friendly businesses
- Post to our Dog Forum
- Speak your mind at the Mayor's "Open Door," held at City Hall every third Friday of every second month month from 9:00 am to 11:30 am.
