Dog Walker Watch, Bike Rodeo In Gloucester Township Saturday

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — The Gloucester Township Police Department is partnering with a local animal hospital to teach Pet CPR at the Dog Walker Watch and Bike Rodeo on Saturday, May 12, 10 a.m. to noon at the Timber Creek Dog Park.

Dog Walker Watch is a neighborhood watch program developed to teach dog owners how to be aware of their surroundings and how and when to report suspicious activity to the police.

“We will have local dog vendors on location with treats for your dog and adoptable dogs (maybe a new family member) on location,” police said. “Learn Pet CPR, meet our K-9s and handlers, get a picture with McGruff The Crime Dog and much more.”

The Bike Rodeo will take place in the parking lot right next to Dog Walker Watch. Bicycle officers will be on hand to meet children. They will be able to try their bike out on some obstacle courses.

Safe Kids Southern NJ will be on location to properly fit helmets for children. The events are free and open to the public. For more information, email Capt. Brendan Barton at bbarton@gtpolice.com or call 856-374-3507.
