Submit your dog in the We Scoop Dog Photo contest

Bellingham, WALocal News

The We Scoop Dog Photo contest invites dog owners in Whatcom County to submit photos of their pets by Sept. 30. Organized by the City of Bellingham and Whatcom County, the contest promotes responsible pet waste disposal, urging owners to scoop, bag, and trash their dog's waste. Contest winners will receive a scooping prize pack and be featured in future Public Works advertisements. Dog waste can contain harmful pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can spread disease and damage the environment.

The initiative highlights the community's commitment to public health and environmental stewardship. Six winners will be announced on Oct. 10. This contest not only celebrates pets but also serves as a reminder of the responsibilities that come with pet ownership. Encouraging proper waste disposal can lead to a cleaner and healthier community for all residents.
