🐕 Why Dog Tags Matter

No one expects their pet to go missing, but it only takes a moment to slip outside or off leash. A valid dog tag helps quickly identify lost pets and reunite them with their families.

Please help keep our four-legged community members safe by keeping dogs on leash and ensuring they wear an up-to-date dog tag.
