Please join the Langdon Dog Park Association (LDPA), your neighbors, and their furry pals this Saturday 11am – 1pm for the park’s Summer kick off party at the Langdon Dog Park, 2901 20th Street NE, between the recreation center and the pool.

* The Washington Humane Society will have their adoption van with adoptable animals, as well as information on their programs and services (adoption, fostering, volunteering, spay/neuter, feral cats, cruelty, humane education, etc.).

* The Washington Animal Rescue League will also be at the park with their truck with adoptable dogs and Dr. Jan Rosen, their medical director, for “Ask the Vet.”

* Spot on Training will have an “Ask the Trainer” table, and will set up two doggie pools to serve as a doggie cooling station. They will also bring goodie bags with treats, sponsor a “How Many Bones” contest for $25 off a training class, and have material with dog park etiquette tips.

The LDPA is an all-volunteer organization, having no paid staff/board members. Funding is provided by memberships and contributions/ donations from the general public. Board members will be on hand at Saturday’s event to explain how you can help the park continue to be a success.

Refreshments (hot dogs and drinks) will be available for a small donation, so bring a few bucks. For more information, visit http://www.langdondogpark.org and http://www.facebook.com/langdondogpark or send an email to langdondogpark@ gmail.com.
