2014 Halloween CuteFest is coming!

Our Mud Pit is Gone!!

After months of asking, begging, pressuring and, finally, sending a note to anyone and everyone who might be able to help, we have finally gotten the District Government to deal with the drainage problem in our dog park.

The mud pit is gone!!! 

So, come on back to your neighborhood dog park and help us build a dog community in LeDroit Park, Bloomingdale and surrounding communities.

Halloween Cutefest RESCHEDULED to Sunday, 10/30

Hey everyone, our Halloween Cutefest has been pushed back one day due to the forecast for rain and snow on Saturday.  Please join us on Sunday, October 30!

Join us for "Halloween CuteFest: Puppies on Parade!"

Join us on Saturday, October 29 for "Halloween CuteFest: Puppies on Parade!" (bring your kids too!).  You know your pooch has always dreamed of being Superpooch!
