Dear Member,

Thank you so much for subscribing to A-DOG's Wags and Tags newsletter. We hope you are enjoying it! We're reaching out now because our records indicate that you receive Wags and Tags but are not registered as an A-DOG member. We hope that you will consider joining A-DOG as part of our pack!*

Whether you decide to join or not, no worries! We still will send you Wags and Tags . But, all who support our mission are welcome to be members, whether you have a dog or not, whether you live in Arlington or a nearby community. If you care about a dog-friendly Arlington, we welcome you to our A-DOG pack!
