  • ​ Yellow Ribbon Campaign

    A yellow ribbon is a sign to others to give your pet space. If you see a pet with a yellow ribbon, please respect the yellow ribbon and keep back. If your dog needs space, tie a yellow ribbon on its collar or leash. Dogs may need space for a variety of reasons, not just because they are aggressive. They may also need space because they are in training, nervous, old, grumpy, unwell, or recovering from surgery/operation. Spread the word about what it means when you see a dog with a yellow ribbon.
