Thank you to everyone who stopped by the DAWG booth at National Night Out! We loved visiting with so many families and seeing the kids have fun making sunflower butter pine cone bird feeders to take home for their neighborhood birds.
It was a wonderful evening celebrating our community, wildlife, and the special connection we share with animals of all kinds. Thank you for spending part of National Night Out with DAWG!

If you have room in your heart and home for two loving senior companions, come meet Abigail & Quinn at Mission Viejo Animal Services Center. They may just be the perfect duo you’ve been waiting for.
