AKC RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNERSHIP DAYS RETURNS FOR ITS 15TH YEAR: HOST AN EVENT!
“AKC RDO Day brings the rewards of the canine-human bond to life,” said AKC President and CEO Dennis B. Sprung. “Each year, the AKC invites its more than 5,000 affiliated dog clubs, along with other pet-related organizations, to help educate the public in their communities. We thank those who join us each year and encourage organizations that have not yet held an event to give it a try in 2017 and celebrate the unconditional love we receive from our canine companions.”
Host an Event: All efforts are appreciated and welcomed, from hosting a public education table at a dog show or dog run to creating a day-long festival. The first 600 clubs and organizations that register at www.akc.org/rdod will receive a kit full of free giveaways and a searchable event listing on the AKC website. Some giveaways for 2017 include car decals and RDO wristbands.
