Can I bring my current dog?

Friendly, leashed, and vaccinated dogs are welcome at outdoor park events so our team can help supervise safe dog-to-dog introductions.

Can I volunteer or drop off foster supplies at an event?

Yes! We always welcome extra hands for event setup and dog handling, as well as donations of unopened kibble, wire crates, harnesses, and plush toys. You can also coordinate drop-offs at our Northlake hub via our Connect page.
