2026 Annual Picnic and Board meeting

Join us for a relaxed, wiggle-butt wagging day of fun—whether you prefer sunshine or a shady spot, we’ve got you covered! There’s a large fenced area where dogs and their humans can run and play off leash, plus a separate on-leash space for those who prefer it.

We can’t wait to spend the day with you!
