Green Dog Walkers is a community driven, non-confrontational way to tackle dog fouling.

Volunteers wear a Green Dog Walkers armband which signifies that they have “taken the pledge”. Following the official local launch at Coffee Boutique on Thursday 4th April, Deirdre and Andy are now inviting other dog owners to join them.

Participating dog owners must agree to:

• clean up after their dog
• wear the armband or put the Green Dog Walkers collar on their dog when walking
• carry extra dog waste bags
• be happy to be approached to ‘lend’ a dog waste bag to those without
• be a friendly reminder to other dog walkers to clean up after their dogs

For further details and to take the pledge, please call in to Coffee Boutique on Main Street, Delvin.
