BostonDOG: Getting Together for Common Interests

Hello friends;

BostonDOG is featured in Woof Patrol's October newsletter!  The article focuses on our Poop Patrol campaign and efforts at bringing a dog park to Boston Common; you can check it out here:

There's a lot of activity over the next few days (especially Tuesday) for dog owners so we felt it best to summarize everything in one email.  Please pass this email along to help us spread the word.

Public meeting to address dogs in parks
City Councilor Bill Linehan "wants to try and change the culture of dog owners" and has called for a special meeting to discuss the growing problem of dogs running free in city parks.  Due to several other important events on Tuesday evening, many of us plan to arrive early and leave by 7:00pm.  Meeting in the Ianella Chamber at City Hall.

It's that time of year... Hill House is playing host to a spooky, scary Halloween party.  There will be a doggie costume contest, portraits, behaviorist and games.  This is a great event to attend before heading over to the Ashmont Grill for the Tails for Tails fundraiser.
