For the safety and comfort of everyone attending Paws in the Park, please keep the following in mind:

• Know your dog! This event will be busy, crowded, and full of people, dogs, and activity. If your dog is uncomfortable in these environments, it’s perfectly okay to leave them home and enjoy the event without them!
• Dogs must current on their Rabies vaccination. You do not need to bring proof, but must be able to provide it if requested following an incident.
• Dogs must remain on a leash no longer than 6 feet.
• Retractable/extendable leashes are not permitted.
• Please do not bring sick dogs or dogs in heat. Puppies under 4 months should also stay home.
• Please ask before allowing your dog to greet another dog. Not every dog is comfortable meeting new friends!
• Owners are responsible for their dogs' behavior and safety throughout the event. Event officials reserve the right to ask any dog displaying unsafe or aggressive behavior to leave.
• Please clean up after your dog and dispose of waste properly.
• No cats or other small animals!
