  • Interactive Fun:

    They offer safety in more ways than one

  • Besides helping to protect your community dogs from accidents, wearing a harness/collar also indicates that they are being cared for and these dogs are less likely to be relocated.

  • Adding an ID tag or a phone number to the collar/harness would be useful if the dog accidentally wandered away from his or her territory in the dark.
    ​
  • Loud noises make dogs very anxious, this is why celebrations involving firecrackers often result in several lost pets and community dogs. They run around in a panic, often out of their homes and territories. If it’s after dark your dog will be a lot safer if it’s more visible.
