Newsletter
We will be publishing our first newsletter this month. It will be filled with news and events, stories about working canines. The newsletter will be available at vet clinics, pet stores in the Capitola area, also at C-DOG events and distributed to C-DOG members. Want a copy? Let us know.

Think about it.
How has dog ownership changed in the last 30 years?
Do we take better care of dogs now?
Do we pick up more than we used to?
Do we train them to be more responsive?
Do we feed them better quality food with less residue?
Capitola ordinances changed 30 years ago to ban dogs from the beach and parks because "they were running wild in packs".
The City Council and the community want to know if things have changed.

Many thanks to Brett Graessle, Nancy Green, Lloyd Logan and Sandi Pensinger, the pro dog volunteers, who are spending their hours working on the Capitola City Dog Task Force when they might be at home with their families or playing with their dogs. We also thank the many C-DOG volunteers who have been diligently spreading the word, writing letters and making a difference one dog at a time.

Thank you for your membership, time, donations, encouragement,
