Dog pick-up
day here Friday
Due to the ever increasing num-
ber of stray dogs in Claude, the
City Council, at their last meet-
ing, voted to have a DOG DAY.
This is to be a day in which all
pet owners should keep their dogs
either penned up or in control on
their own property. There will be
a representative from the Am-
arillo Animal Control Authority
in town that day, who will pick
- .up all dogs that are not penned
or controlled on their own pro-
perty.
This day has been set for Fri-
day, April 26, 1963, so keep that
date in mind and be sure to keep
your dog under controll all day
on that date. Remember, April
26, 1963, dog day in Claude.
Should a valuable pet be pick-
ed up during that day, the owner
may claim the dog by going to
the Amarillo Animal Control
Shelter within three days, paying
the fee and claim the animal.
