DOGS OF THE MONTH

February’s Dog of the Month – Meet STELLA!!!
Aren’t I adorable?!?!
February’s Dog of the Month is Miss Stella the Boxer pup. She is 13 months old and a frequent visitor at the park along with mom, Dawn. In fact, her favorite pasttime is hanging with all of her fellow doggie friends! But of course her best friend of all time is her mom, and when she isn’t playing down at the park she is at home snuggling in her mom’s bed. She’s got a great trick that she’d love to teach her friends but unfortunately no food is allowed in the park. But, at home she has perfected catching popcorn. Her favorite toy is seashells from the seashore, and her biggest pet peeve is having to wait for Mom to get her toys when they roll places she cant reach! Next time you see Stella at the park make sure to give her a high five for being featured as February’s Dog of the Month!

Announcement: The Board of Directors will be meeting Tuesday, December 13, 2011.  Click HERE to view the details.

Announcement: Please check out the Salem Gazette article – Group makes space at dog park for petite pup, showing off the newly constructed Small Dog Park!  To view the article, please select the article title or by clicking HERE.

Barking Board: Last weekend members of the board had a small event to help 11 dogs get their 2011 pooch passes. There were healthy doggie cookies and fun play time. If you missed the event and still don’t have your pooch pass there are a few places to get them, see the FAQ’s. We may also hold a few more “at the gate” pooch pass sales during the summer.

Pooch pass sales and other fund raisers pay for park improvements like the small dog park and mud prevention! We are currently discussing options and getting rough cost ideas for long term park improvements like the walkway, bench renovation, fence replacement and resurfacing.

See you at the park!

Announcement: 2011 tags are now available at Parks and Recreation/Council on Aging 5 Broad St. Salem.  Dog owners will need to show dog’s registration, spay/neuter documentation, and proof that rabies is up to date through 2011.
