Introduce yourself
Since we live so close to Butcher park, and it is a fun place to bring our dog, we wanted to start this group as the first one on Dog-Park-USA.
So please introduce yourself you when you join this group. Let use know how to found Butcher Park in San Jose, and who you bring with you.
Dory, is your half beagle/half terrier mix that has been spotlighted a few times already. She love meeting all the new dogs, but sometimes when the park is crowded she sticks close to us. We grew up in this neighborhood, so we were very excited when the city finally attached a dog park here.
Fridley Loves Dog Park Romps!
I live in Lincoln City, Oregon, and my Australian Shepherd Fridley gets regular walks and occasional off-leash romps on the beaches in the area. Winter months are wonderful, and most weekdays he gets a little time off-leash. However, we miss having a dog park nearby. I recognize that not everyone on the beach wishes to become acquainted with the word's most affectionate Aussie, and that their dogs may or may not be socialized enough to handle an enthusiastic encounter. So he only goes off-leash when there are no other people or dogs nearby.
We've done a lot of traveling around the country, and try to find dog parks wherever we go. When I get a little time, I'll go through your listings and try to add some off-leash areas we've been to - and add information about others, if needed.
But right now, we're heading off to Salem, to find the 2 dog parks in that area - thanks to your website, we know where to look!
