Tsurumi Dog Club: A ⁤Community for Dog Lovers

In Tsurumi Ward, the Tsurumi Dog Club brings together dog enthusiasts to address local issues, such as protecting dogs and beautifying ‌the town.

Established⁤ three years ago, the club ​was founded ​by three individuals, including director‍ Masaya Moteki, ⁣who sought to create a⁣ community where dog lovers could ​come ‍together⁢ to‌ watch over the local area and⁤ engage in pet disaster⁤ prevention and protection activities.

The club’s activities include ‌picking up trash on walks and conducting patrols. “Even a small violation of manners, such⁤ as cleaning up dog droppings, ⁢can give ⁣a⁤ bad impression to dog ​lovers as a whole. We hope to raise⁣ awareness of improving manners as well.”

Club Activities and Goals

With approximately 200⁣ members, the club values⁣ loose connections through social media, providing information ⁤on ‌lost ⁢pets and proper pet care.

The club plans to consider activities unique to the dog club, such as crime prevention, monitoring activities, and ⁢a mobile version of ‘Children’s 110’, ⁤in addition to dog protection and ​pet disaster⁣ prevention.

The club also sells calendars of rescued dogs on ‍its online shop, donating a ‌portion of the sales ‌to protection groups. ⁣Director ​Motegi-san has been‍ personally involved in dog protection‌ activities for many years and takes care of several rescued dogs at home.

Creating a ⁤Community for People and Dogs

“Rather than trying to do something⁣ difficult, I ​would like to create a community where people in the community can connect through dogs, help each⁢ other, and live happily and safely with⁢ both⁤ people and dogs.”

An event is planned for December at Mitsuike Park. ‍The club is⁣ currently recruiting members and encourages interested individuals to check their website for more ⁣information.
