 Dear ODOG Friends,
This is a season of dog park success and lots of opportunities to insure the future of off-leash recreation.. Construction is authorized to start at Mosswood Dog Park and we had an easy "closing day" at Joaquin Miller Dog Park. We don't have news to report on the Serpentine Prairie closing or the Lake Merritt Dog Park status at this time but we will let you know as soon as we do.
We sent out notices for two families who lost dogs in the Oakland Hills and are happy to report that the little red pit puppy was reunited with her owner. Read the whole story here. |
| Our Dog Park Needs YOU |
|
During Woodminster Theater shows, when cars descend on Joaquin Miller Park, our dog parks convert back into their earlier incarnations as parking lots. (Let's see. Which would you rather be -- dog park or parking lot? Hmmm.)
Thanks a million to our dog park "closing team" of Hanna, Joanna, Jolene, Dale, Darlene, John, Nick & Mike, Aletha, Ron, Raquel, Carolina & Enrique, Cindy, Jack, Kino and Emily. Great teamwork made the closing project fun.
We need volunteers to do the same thing two more times in July. 12 and July 18. Sign Up Here. |
| JULY 4th WARNING |
|
Firecrackers are dangerous for outside pets so be sure to keep your dogs, cats and other animal friends inside and secure during the evenings around the 4th .
