Why do some dogs become strays?
Some dogs like to explore more than others. Adventuresome dogs see an open gate as an invitation to see new territory; unfortunately they don’t always understand the risks and dangers they may face while out on their own without supervision.


Help your dog by working with your children to keep gates and doors closed.
