If the parking lot is full, go back to the main entrance street and turn right. There will be additional parking just down the street all within walking distance of the dog park.
It’s always lots of fun to see so many Boston Terriers running all over the place. (The most we’ve had at one time was around 30. C-R-A-Z-Y!!!!!) As one first time participant said, “These is organized chaos.” http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/smileys/laughing.gif It’s a good idea to bring your own water bottle and bowl. Toys too. And plastic bags for those accidents. http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/smileys/confused.gif We look forward to seeing you! http://img1.meetupstatic.com/img/smileys/cool.gif

Park at the main parking lot and we will meet on the left of the tennis courts. This event is completely free for fosters (even for returning fosters) and is open to all rescues and independent rescuers. Owned pets are welcome with a suggested donation of $20 to go towards raising awareness surrounding the stray overpopulation issue and responsible pet ownership.

Our photoshoots are always on a first come, first serve basis and we encourage handlers to keep dogs within their vehicles when not being photographed to minimize any stress or risks of altercations. If you have multiple foster dogs we encourage bringing at least one additional handler so that each dog has its moment to shine. If you have treats, cute holiday toys/bandanas those always help too. Please only bring completely vaccinated dogs. Expect each session to last about 10 minutes and keep in mind photos with the fosters/handlers in them always help with adoptability.
We hope to see you there!
