PetWatch Summit

Nancy and Tiffany attended the last Petwatch Summit on November 7, 2007 and the group is steadily expanding; this time we had residents of Oak Cliff in attendance, who are just starting a Petwatch program. Almost all the groups have an email notification process set up, but we are still struggling with neighbors who do not have online access. Future plans include developing a list of vets offices and animal related businesses who will allow us to post flyers for missing and found pets, since it is against city regulations to post signs and flyers along the street. We also discussed developing a comprehensive list of shelters and rescue groups who would be willing to take an animal when we do not have foster homes available, as well as a list of web sites for posting lost and found animals. Our plans are to continue to meet about every 3 months to support each other and assist new areas of town to get their own Petwatch Programs started.
