1. There have recently been reports of a high number of dogs with kennel cough, or Bordetella, at a nearby kennel. This can be easily spread among dogs in dog parks. Please make sure your dog is vaccinated against Bordetella in addition to all the other required vaccines before you bring your dog to the park.
2. We are looking for someone to help with filling the poop bag dispensers at least one day a week. If you are a regular visitor please consider volunteering a small amount of your time to support the park. Your dog will thank you. If interested and for more information, please contact Keith at: info@shirlingtondogs.org
3. Keep the dog park clean. Too many people are not picking up after their dogs. It is critical you keep your dog in sight so you can pick up the poop. The health and safety of everyone and the park depends on this.
4. We are always in need of clean plastic bags, such as those your newspaper comes in, for picking up dog poop. No food storage bags please. Please put them loosely in the two green mailboxes at either end of the park. You can also place them all in an outer bag and hang it on the shed door handle.
