Fur-Get Me Not “Back to School” Series: Dog Ownership and the Law

August 25, 2011 by Heidi Meinzer | 1 Comment

Fur-Get Me Not is introducing a new “Back to School” series in September, and I was honored to be asked to contribute. Join me at Fur-Get Me Not on September 11 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM for a presentation on “Dog Ownership and the Law.”

This presentation will discuss the state of companion animal and dog law, focusing on the most pressing legal issues facing dog lovers and our dogs. I’ll discuss topics such as the duties and responsibilities of pet owners, breed specific legislation, and the state of companion animal law in Virginia.

Registration is required (and very simple – just go to their website to register on line!). The seminars take place in Fur-Get Me Not’s wonderful new training studio located at 4120 Four Mile Run Drive in Shirlington. Fur-Get Me Not suggests a $15 donation for these sessions (except Doggie Yoga, see below), and the proceeds will be donated to Fur-Get Me Not’s rescue partners, including Homeward Trails Animal Rescue!

Here is the rest of the line up for the Back to School Series:

• On September 18, Pure Prana Yoga Studio will have a “Doggie Yoga” session. The cost of this session is $35, $15 of which will be donated to Fur-Get Me Not’s rescue partners.
• On September 25, Terri Grow of Pet Sage will present “When Health and Diet Collide.”
• On October 1, Dr. Jane Morse of Ballston Animal Hospital will present “Understanding the Benefits Between Traditional and Holistic Veterinary Care.”

Feel free to check out this flyer or Fur-Get Me Not’s website for further details on this great Back To School Series.

And for those of you who are attending the BlogPaws 2011 Conference in Tysons Corner this weekend, I look forward to meeting up with you there!
