beloved members of our families.

Community Leaders
In addition to the many hours of service our drill
team members put in for the events above,
members and their dogs seek to promote the
welfare as well as improve the image of dogs in
general. Members work in local politics to
enhance the welfare of all animals in our
community. Several teach or assist in teaching
obedience classes. Others volunteer in dog
rescue efforts. Some of our dogs have
demonstrated the value of obedience training by
modeling canine fashions for PetsMart.
