In March of 2003, The Safe Kids/Safe Dogs Project applied for a small grant through the
Virginia Department of Health Center for Injury and Violence Prevention. Happily, we were awarded the grant!
As part of the grant, we developed even more materials for public and educational use.
These can be downloaded for personal use. If you wish to use them as part of an educational program, please contact me first. Please do not link directly to these as it does eat up bandwidth. You can save them to a file and then upload them to your site
from there. Please email for permission before doing this and do not alter the materials in any way.
You will need Acrobat Reader for these. If you do not have Acrobat Reader, you may download it here.
Please note, these are not to replace professional assistance. If you are worried about a
situation, seek professional intervention before tragedy happens.

Hello,
My name is Brian Weed I am an Animal Control Officer in Juneau Alaska.
I work for a non-profit company called the Gastineau Humane Society.
It is a combination of Animal Control and an Animal Shelter. With
your permission we would like to use some of your printables with our
Kids Safe day coming up here in Juneau. Animal Control has been
involved in the kids safe program for many years now, but I find some
of our material is outdated information, I was referred to your
website, and I think it is excellent information that I would like to
share with the parents/dog owners of Juneau, Alaska.
Thank you so much.
