This one hour presentation is free but you need to make a reservation here.
CDOC is introducing legislation in 2010 to make licensing more affordable so communities actually have the ability to get dogs home and out of the shelters. We need your help. Come and hear the facts and invite your elected officials. And make sure you invite your legislator on the newly formed animal caucus.

CDOC NAMES CALDERON "2009 LEGISLATOR OF THE YEAR"
Concerned Dog Owners of California named Assembly Member Chuck Calderon 2009 Legislator of the Year for his work on behalf of dogs during the legislative session. Assembly Member Calderon supported legislation that would have provided tax incentives for people to take shelter dogs, supported legislation to toughen rules against dog fighting and opposed the legislation that would have required mandatory spay and neuter of owned dogs.
The latter legislation would have had a serious effect on the ability of service organizations to obtain dogs for their programs. It also had no exemptions for search and rescue dogs and other dogs that help professionals on a daily basis.
Making the presentation for CDOC was CDOC Member Gerri Monohan, President of the Golden Retriever Club of Great Los Angeles, Mary Fry, Carol Hamilton and Dean Lund. All these people are constituents of Calderon.
