New Dogs in Quarantine
Stay-home orders have been a catalyst for pet adoptions. This is a great for all the homeless pets, but there are some challenges, especially for dog adopters. When getting a new dog, care needs to be taken to introduce the dog to the family, socialize the dog with other dogs and new situations, and train the dog. While the introduction to the family is easy during quarantine, the other needs pose some serious challenges. Additionally, adopters need to plan for changing their routine from a stay-home pattern to whatever the new normal becomes.

Dog Park Flag Contest
The Chelmsford Dog Association is looking for a young, local artist to design a logo for the Chelmsford Dog Park flag!
In the spring, we will have flag poles with the US flag and the Massachusetts state flag flying at the Chelmsford Dog Park. We will also have a third flag pole that will be empty. We want to put up a Chelmsford Dog Park flag – but we don’t have a design for that flag yet. YOU can help us by designing a flag for us!
There will be a prize for the 1st place and runner-up selections.
