Hi pack! We still have a fairly big pile of gravel that needs to be spread around the dog run and could use your help this Saturday while you’re at the park. We will have shovels, rakes, and buckets available to use, so we would greatly appreciate it if folks could grab one and help move some of the gravel to the center of the dog run - thank you!!!!

🚨 We have 2 large truck loads of gravel being delivered on the Large Dog Size this Friday, 6/21. The Large Dog Size will be CLOSED as we need to leave the vehicle gate (opposite end of the dog run entrance) open for the trucks to enter. 🚨

Please share with other dog run users!

🔔 NEW TIME 🔔 We are going to plan to start work at 9am on Sunday (6/23) with the hopes of getting all of the gravel spread before it gets too hot. We could really use the help (only 3 people have signed up to volunteer so far) - you do not have to be there for the entire time - even dropping by to help for 30 minutes will make a difference!

Hi !

We are still having our Volunteer cleanup this Saturday, May 11 from 10am-12pm.

Rain should hold off for the day, but there will likely be puddles in the dog runs, so we recommend wearing rain boots.

We will focus on replacing the torn green windscreens around the fences, replace the shade screens on top of the pergolas, and work on moving the gravel around if we can.

Cleanup supplies will be provided and Weruva will be handing out free dog food samples!

We hope to see you there!

Repost from ☀️🌑 With the solar eclipse on April 8 fast approaching, here’s essential advice to ensure your animal companions stay safe and stress-free:

🐶 KEEP CALM: Pets are sensitive to our emotions and actions, so staying composed is key.

🐩 MAINTAIN THEIR ROUTINE: Stick to their regular schedule to alleviate stress during unfamiliar events.

🌞 NO GLASSES FOR PETS: Animals instinctively avoid staring at the sun, protecting their eyes without the need for specialized glasses.

🏡 INDOOR HAVEN: Keep your pets indoors during the eclipse to shield them from the crowds and commotion.

🐱 CALM ENVIRONMENT: If you will be out of the house during the eclipse, create a calming atmosphere at home. Leave lights on, play soothing music, and maintain a sense of normalcy.

✅ CHECK THEIR ID: Ensure your pets are microchipped and wearing collars with ID tags. This simple precaution could be invaluable if they become frightened by the commotion and run off.
