AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR HAPPY TAILS DOG PARK!!!

Dear Central Penn Dog Lovers (and Happy Tails Supporters):

There is only 7 days of voting to go. Make Your Vote count and we will have a Very Nice Happy Tails Dog Park. I have voted everyday since I sent the 1st email out!!! You can vote once a day!!!

I recently entered the Beneful Dream Dog Park Contest and was selected as one of 15 finalists from across the country! I filmed a two-minute video of my dog, "Taj," and I explaining what we would do to create an amazing dog park. If we are selected as the winning entry, then they will renovate a local Harrisburg dog park for up to $500,000 of improvements! If we win, they will likely either renovate the "Happy Tails" Dog Park in Harrisburg or the Doggie Dugout (in Lower Allen township). The winning entry is determined by a voting panel created by Beneful as well as by percentage of public votes.

We need your help! If you have a chance - please vote for our entry! Tell your relatives, friends, neighbors, & dog lovers to vote also. The more votes and the more public support we get, the likelier that Beneful will choose Harrisburg for the $500,000 renovation! Voting is open from now through September 8th. You can vote once a day! If you are not registered, you will have to go through a minor registration process. We would love it if they chose to invest in our community here in Central PA and it's a fantastic way to give back to our dogs who bring us so much joy!

Heather & "Taj"

YOU CAN HELP DEFRAY DOG PARK COSTS!!!

The Lower Paxton Dog Park Association is asking the Happy Tails Dog Park users to help defray poop bag costs.
We have placed PVC pipe bag dispensers in the Happy Tails Dog Park.
There are 2 in the large dog area and 1 in the small dog area. Please try to use these bags!!!

Take a bag from the lower hole and place your plastic newspaper and shopping bags in the upper hole.
This will help the Happy Tails Dog Park with costs and provide a way to get rid of all those plastic bags!!!

PASS THE WORD!!!

Dog Licenses

Dogs that come to the dog park should be licensed. Dog licenses can be obtained through the respective county treasurers’ offices or at local agents authorized by the treasurers to sell licenses. Most county treasurers have the application available for download on their website. The cost for an annual license is only $6.00. Throughout the year, the Bureau of Dog Law canvasses the area for dogs without licenses and the fines and penalties can be as much as $500.00, so it is a small ounce of prevention to purchase a license. The Dauphin County Treasurer's Office maintains a list of all licenses issued and if a dog should become separated from its owner or the owner needs to be identified for any reason, the license fills the bill.
