| SOABDC Membership & Board Meetings Our meetings are typically held once a month on the first Tuesday of the month (2nd Tues. if the first one falls close to a holiday). You may follow our website or our Facebook page to check for our next meeting date. All members are invited to attend all of our meetings to give input and know what SOABDC is doing.

| You may fill out membership application and either mail it to us, OR bring it to one of our training sessions, meetings or events. All SOABDC membership applications are voted upon before official membership is granted. SOABDC is not equipped to handle dogs w/ behavioral or aggressive issues. As a respected dog club in our community, the Club reserves the right to deny membership for any situation that may in any way potentially harm the reputation of or cause disruption for the Club and its activities within the community. We can email an application to you, but we cannot accept filled out applications via email. Your dues should accompany your application; we accept cash and personal checks made out to Southern Ohio All Breed Dog Club. While we have some good breeders within our Club membership, SOABDC does not back any pet stores selling dogs/puppies or breeders. |
