In the clip from DogWatch of Montana, a young black Labrador Retriever named Boone spots a herd a deer in his backyard. He is clearly interested in these wild animals, but thanks to his DogWatch Hidden Fence, he stays within his boundaries and does not chase them.

Happy Holidays from DogWatch Inc! In honor of the season of giving, we wanted to tell you about an organization that has truly made a difference in the lives of many animals and their families in 2018.

This year, DogWatch Inc. is making a donation to North Valley Animal Disaster Group (NVADG), a non-profit organization in Butte County, California that assists in sheltering and evacuation of animals during a disaster.

NVADG relies on volunteers, including veterinarians, vet techs, firefighters, animal control officers and others. These dedicated individuals have been working tirelessly since early November to rescue, rehabilitate and temporarily house animals impacted by the Camp Fire, the most devastating fire in California history.

We appreciate and value the work of this important organization.

May your holidays be filled with peace, good health and happy pets!
