THE STORY OF THE CANINE CLUB      

In July of 1969, Christine Pensinger contacted several dog owners in Leisure World with the idea of forming a CANINE CLUB. A petition with 250 signatures was presented to the Director of Education and Recreation requesting permission to form such a group. Approval was granted. The first meeting of the CANINE CLUB was held on August 12, 1969, in Clubhouse 2. It was voted that the official name of the club would be “THE CANINE CLUB OF LAGUNA HILLS.”

THE PURPOSE OF THE CANINE CLUB

1. To work with owners and dogs so that they will become better members of the community.
2. To promote the love, interest, and proper care of dogs.
