The Dog Park At Bonnygrove - Marton West

23/04/2024

Most of you will know Stray Aid's background. They started in 2006, accepting 2 dogs a week from 2 local pounds. Over the past 18 years, Stray Aid have rescued and rehomed thousands of stray and abandoned dogs from across our local council areas but our rehoming centre is regularly full now and they cannot accept every dog from the council pounds that they would love to help. This situation is the same across the UK, rescues are at breaking point.

The vast majority of dogs collected by wardens are wearing collars but without identity tags. It states in the Control of Dogs Order 1992, "every dog while in a highway or in a place of public resort shall wear a collar with the name and address of the owner inscribed on the collar or on a plate or badge attached to it". As it is a legal requirement, you may be subject to a fine.

PLEASE, instead of complaining about the cost of getting your dog back from your local council dog pound, just spend a small amount on getting an identity disc with your name, address and phone number on it. Whoever finds your dog would far rather pop it home to you, or ring you to come and collect it, than have to either take it to a vets to scan for a microchip, or take it back to their own home, ring the dog warden and have it taken to the pound.

If your dog keeps losing its tag, get a better quality one. It could be much, much cheaper in the long run!

Let's work together to reduce the volume of dogs going to our rehoming centre.

Anyone on this page that knows a sparky who would fit a defibrillator on a charitable basis?
It is the 2nd unit to arrive for Marton west which (in this case I have funded). Power is available (fuse box) within 2 metres of required location and will need a max 3-4mtr cable run.

Sadly we had to put Jasper down yesterday. He was the inspiration behind Dogpark and a big part of why it became so popular.

We have made so many friends (both 2 & 4 legged) at the park. Alison, Gert, Evie, Jaxx, Tyler & Alan were able to come and say goodbye yesterday, It goes without saying Japser made sure to stock up on Alan treats.

We took Jasper on as a Foster dog from Dogs Trust in 2013, but after 2 years no one had come forward to adopt him as he was challenging to say the least. We then decided to make him part of our family permanently. We are certain that being able to learn to socialise in the park and run off lead safely helped to make him the lovable, food obsessed, 40 mile an hour couch potato he became. He loved it up there, even in the mud.

We'll raise a glass or 2 to him at the park in the summer and will be up again today as usual with Mork, he is going to miss Jasper so much x

Aw well the footie is over😔 but still 2/3 of the grass left to cut! 5 volunteers already but more needed! Please come along if you can spare 20/30 mins! Better workout than going to the gym! 💪

Following the success of our recent Dog Fun Day, we have been able to put some of the funds raised towards gravelling the entrance to the exercise area. We’re hoping this will help prevent the entrance becoming too muddy during wet periods.

Looking at the forecast for tomorrow, Sunday, I think we should postpone the grass cutting, its going to be a wet one tomorrow. Many thanks to those who volunteered their time and muscle, will reschedule over the coming days.

Good evening all.

After the success of the doggy fun day on Saturday we now have the funds for fuel and servicing of the lawn mower and strimmer for a few months. Before they go in for a little a tlc we need to cut the grass again this weekend before it gets too long (weather permitting). I suggest from 11am Sunday 23rd July and would welcome any volunteers for a 20-30 min slot to keep it manageable. Please let us know in the comments below if you would like to join us for a session. Many thanks. Jane.

The Blue plastic water bowl has come to the end of its life as it has a split right up the side of it 🥲
Now it’s in the bin

Today’s Fun Day was a huge success!! Despite the unpredictable weather so many people joined us to enjoy the event. We took a whopping £300 which will go towards servicing and repairing the lawnmower, purchasing fuel and any maintenance needed at the exercise area. Thank you to people who donated prizes and money, the volunteers who organised the event and everyone who turned up on the day. We have a great community and there are a lot of dog lovers out there!!!
