A friend posted this notice on Facebook today and we’re trying to get the word out since there is a time limit. If I didn’t already have so many pets, I’d be all for it. But, I’m an animal lover so I can’t just sit by and do nothing. Please consider if you can help by either adopting or getting the word out to those who can/will.

Dairyland Greyhound Racetrack in Kenosha, WI is closing on 12/31/09. 900 Greyhounds need to be adopted or they will be euthanized. Please help get the word out; there are only 6 weeks to get this done. Contact Joanne Kehoe Operations Director P: 312.559.0887 Or Dairyland Race Track Adoption Center direct at (262) 612-8256

The 1st Off-leash Dog Park in Renton is Ready!

Filed under: Renton, local events & places, dog parks, Seattle, buyer, Washington — Reba Haas @ 11:54 am

My partner, Michael, and I were walking our dogs on Saturday along the Cedar River Trail in Renton and came upon the new off leash dog area being installed by RUFF - or Renton Unleashed Furry Friends. It’s a huge 5 acre area by the trail and just across the Cedar River from the Renton Community Center. There is a small dog area for little guys that don’t want to be overrun by the big dogs and loads of space to run for the others.

I hope you’ll get out and enjoy this new space with your furry friend and I hope you’ll also help fund the efforts of RUFF! They do have their 501c3 status and will be looking to do more fundraising for long term care of the park and potentially more of these dog parks in the future. They’ve piggy backed on the success of long time COLA (Citizen’s for Off Leash Areas) in Seattle, so we hope that they’ll be able to become a strong organization in favor of our pooches.
