Dog Park in GF

Some benefits of dog parks (from PEI Humane Society)

Studies have shown that dogs that exercise and are allowed to run freely are not as aggressive towards people as dogs that are under-exercised.

Allowing dogs to have an off-leash area socializes dogs.

It brings them in contact with other dogs and causes them to be less aggressive in each future encounter with dogs.

Dog Parks improve the mental state of dogs. After a visit to the dog park dogs are less agitated, more relaxed and in general nicer to be around.

Strut Your Mutt

The "Strut Your Mutt" fundraiser for Pet Connection Humane Society in Bismarck yesterday afternoon was a great success. Before the 4K non-competitive walk started, Father Patrick Schumacher of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Mandan blessed the dogs. Each registrant received a St. Francis pet medal. Everyone had a great time and funds were raised for the shelter. Volunteers walked shelter dogs: this gave them an opportunity to get outside and socialize with people and other dogs. Great news: David found a permanent home! The family walking him at the fundraiser decided to adopt him.
