BRATTLEBORO — All dog owners and other interested parties are invited to join D.O.G. (Dog Owners Group).

We meet once a month to discuss issues relating to dogs, and other animals, in a manner that benefits everyone and all dogs.

This is a non-judgmental group. We want to communicate, learn, and identify those problems that need to be worked on with the town authorities and owners.

If you are concerned about the safety and well-being of your best friend, and yourself or your children, please call me at 802-579-2365, or email me at [email protected].
