July Dog Park Meetup 2022

It's been a while - want to play?

This group has not been to the park in a while and remain hopeful that it is still clean and nice. Note the park has two sides one for small dogs and one for large dogs. Most people observe those guidelines, but there are sometimes people who don't. So take a peek at the surroundings before letting your chihuahua loose.

Please check this website before you leave your house to make sure it hasn't cancelled.

A few things for your Chihuahua's health & safety:
~BRING FRESH WATER for your dog - do not allow your dog to drink any standing water someone else leaves behind at the park which may carry disease
~It is best if you do not bring treats, however, if you decide to bring treats-always ask owners before feeding other Chihuahuas -allergies!
~Please skip the meet if your dog is ill, in heat or has had recent surgery
~Please wear leashes until inside the play area
~Please remember this is a public park, so other non-chihuahuas will be there
~Please keep an eye on your chihuahuas at all times
~Please clean up after your chihuahua
~This is a fully-fenced off-leash park - but there are gaps in some parts of the fence - and at times, hawks fly over the area - so keep an eye on your little ones - we can't stress this enough
-The park has an area for small dogs and an area for big dogs
-Heads up, and keep your eyes on your chihuahuas at all times

What happens at the meet?
Basically, we stand around while the Chihuahuas play 'with each other.' We do not force them to socialize, we let them manage this on their own. Most chihuahuas get along very well with each other - so they need their own time to figure out who they like best and who they want to play with. Most new Chihuahua members are shy the first few meets - this is quite normal. After a while most venture out on their own and make new friends! Some play, some sniff around, some just hang out. Some realize the dog park is not for them. They are all different!
