DOGS AT THE HUMANE SOCIETY
This seminar will take place in the AUDITORIUM. We have received approval to allow dogs in the auditorium, if we cover the cost of cleaning the carpet. If you would like to bring your dog, the cost is $15.00 per dog.

Please read carefully the rules indicated below concerning dogs. We ask that you follow and respect the rules listed below. These rules have been approved by facility management for the safety of your dog(s).

• Dogs may lay by your chair as long as they remain quiet, leashed and under control at all times. No crates or x-pens allowed in the seminar room.
• Dogs must not block the aisles. This has been a problem in the past and people have been forced to walk over dogs. People have tripped and/or have accidentally hit a dog with their foot while trying to walk down the aisle. This has been the cause of some very unhappy owners and that is not fair to the person who is just trying to get through.
• Due to the warm weather at this time of the year, dogs CANNOT be left in your vehicle even if all windows, doors and/or hatches are open. You can and will be cited by a humane society Animal Service Officer and your dog will be removed from your vehicle.

Our main concern continues to be the care and safety of the dogs. Due to past compliance difficulties, Puppyworks reserves the right to remove any dog or person from Marin Humane Society property if our dog rules are not adhered to, if individuals put their dogs at risk and/or if individuals behave in an unprofessional manner toward our event or shelter staff. Please note, the property of the Marin Humane Society is under the control of the Marin County Animal Service Officers who act independently of Puppyworks.
