Fishtown Dogs Against Dog Poop In Drinking Water Wanted For Contest


The Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) and The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary (PDE) are teaming up to look for a canine from Fishtown to be the spokesdog for their annual campaign to educate humans about keeping dog poop off the sidewalks and out of drinking water.

According to Philly Watersheds,

As always, the goal is to raise awareness about keeping dog waste out of our waterways by getting it off sidewalks, streets and grass right away with proper disposal techniques. We all know it’s pretty gross (and rude!) when pet owners don’t clean up after their furry friends, but many people don’t think about the health consequences, especially as they relate to water.

The contest is open until the 15th of July and you can enter by clicking here. 

But don’t think you’ll be a shoo-in, dawg. The competition is stiff and there’s an online voting process. According to the participating organizations, between 30-80 dogs are submitted annually to be part of the campaign. The winning dogs will get their photos printed on flyers that will educate people about the effects of dog poop.

The contest is also open to dogs in the Washington Square West area of Philadelphia.
