Children encouraged to support dog poop scoop campaign

Mon, 13 Jun 2011

The dog welfare charity, Dogs Trust, is urging schools across the UK to show their support for responsible dog ownership by taking part in the Paws up for Poop Scoop campaign.

Poop Scoop Week, which will run nationwide from 25th – 31st July 2011, encourages dog owners to demonstrate responsible dog ownership and pick up after their dogs . Children are being encouraged to remind dog owners to scoop the poop and they can take part by going to www.poopscoopweek.co.uk and clicking on Paws up for Poop Scoop.

Clarissa Baldwin, Dogs Trust chief executive, explained: "Poop Scoop Week is about saying thank you and well done to the millions of well-behaved dog owners, but also to remind the irresponsible minority that their dog can’t pick up after itself.

Children are the dog owners of the future and we are calling on them to put their Paws up for Poop Scoop. If every dog owner fulfils their duty we can all look forward to summer strolls and picnics in parks free from the worry of dog poop!"
