A dog park allows an intact male? Huh?

Yep I know is sounds odd. But it is an unattended park that the police dept hates. We are so on our own there. Rules are posted but neutering is not one of them. So we have to roll with what we have.

People regularly drop dogs off that are no longer wanted via drive by and we find homes for most of them. Nothing is by the book and most is seat of the pants. We just do what needs doing.

I’ve always thought dog parks were a bad idea. There is nothing to stop an agressive dog from attacking another dog or a person at these places. Dogs are not children. They sometimes like to play with other dogs, but most prefer to be with people. Often dogs are bullied or intimidated by other dogs and don’t enjoy being in groups of other dogs at all.

With the recent increase in the times that large numbers of dogs are together in doggie day care, dog parks, and boarding facilities, there may also be an increase in the number of communicable diseases in dogs. Something to think about.
