BEWARE OF SUMMER TEMPERATURES! (Jun2010)
I have measured the pavement temperatures over 140 degrees in early June and this will DEFINITELY create paw burns on most dogs. Read my temperture study soon to be published. Unfortunately our temperture data shows multiple dangers including sidewalks, brick, blacktop, and even car interiors that can injure any animal. Should a burn occur, we have also listed several actions to take to address the burns.

 


Naples Dog Park NAPLES DOG PARK OFFICALLY OPEN BUT STILL NEEDS YOUR HELP - The Naples Dog Park has been open since March and provides a fabulous area for small and big dogs. Providing over one acre for large dogs and one third acre for our smaller pups it is just a fantastic area to burn off all that energy.

It is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Goodlette Frank Rd and Central Avenue. To view the exact address on Google maps click HERE.

Since this facility is tax-free to the citizens it continues to need your financial and maintainence help. For more information on the park and how to support it click HERE.


NAPLES DOG PARK APPROVED! (May 2010)
We are thrilled with the great news of the Naples Dog Park being approved by the City Council on May 18, 2010. It will open to all the public as no fees and off-leash. It will be located just off of Riverside circle near the intersection of Goodlette Rd and 41. The group has done an incredible job at fund raising but if you can help everything is appreciated to build out the fences, a nice covered area, and drinking fountains.

COLLIER COUNTY ANTI-TETHERING LAW ENFORCEMENT INCREASES (Jan 2010)
Collier county is now an "anti-tethering" county. Dogs may no longer be chained and left alone. Dogs may only be tethered or chained with a responsible party in sight to oversee the animal’s welfare. Additionally, a number of safety precautions must be met such as requirements a tethered dog be six months or older and healthy. The Dangerous Dog Appeals Panel has been eliminated and replaced with the Special Magistrate now responsible for all appeals.

Regarding Trap, Neuter, Release, TNR will allow participating caregivers and DAS to ensure feral cats are spayed or neutered and vaccinated against rabies and to register feral colonies thus allowing for constant monitoring with the goal of reducing the number of feral cats in Collier County.
