The Paw Park Rules
Use of this off-leash recreational facility is at your own risk.
Paw Park users & dog owners assume all risk and liability related to their presence in the Park. Dog handlers are financially & legally responsible for damage & injury inflicted by their pets.
We trust our fellow dog owners to obey these rules, and to recognize when appropriate action must be taken in order to maintain safety and order. We do not condone interference by human handlers if there is an altercation between dogs. Using voice, whistling and sound to distract dogs when behavior is inappropriate is preferred.
Rules must be enforced through SELF-POLICING. Folks in the Park must take an active role in drawing attention to rules violations and solving problems.
1. Dogs must be licensed, vaccinated*, spayed or neutered, and must wear a visible license tag.
Puppies must be at least four (4) months old. *Rabies, Distemper & Parvo vaccinations are required.
