Camp Wannadog!, Neighbor
- Fairfax City, VA
What kid doesn't want a dog at some point? Unfortunately, families often don't really know how find the best dog for them, which is why they sometimes end up with one that just isn't a good fit. Parents get frustrated, dogs get returned, kids are unhappy. Through day camps, in-home family dog adoption counseling and class/group presentations, Camp Wannadog prevents that by helping kids and their families learn how to pick the right pooch from the start.
