Did you know? Edmonton has over 60 areas where your dog can run and play without having you on the other end of the leash. Our friends who look after the off-leash parks have created Barks and Recreation - a 5 part reality series. that explores what the off-leash parks have to offer.

A friendly reminder before you head off for your nearest off-leash park make sure you and your pet are both prepared:

🐶Licence your dog
🐶For the safety of your dog and others, make sure your dog is up-to-date on their vaccinations and deworming
🐶Some dogs rae not ready for the excitement of off-leash areas. Make sure you know when your dog is becoming uncomfortable, overwhelmed or overexcited and that they have good recall
🐶Make sure you know the boundaries of the off-leash area. Your dog must stay on-leash until after they have entered the off-leash space and upon exiting. Failure to do so may result in a fine.

Fostering provides you with the opportunity to nurture and enrich an animal’s life before they find their furever home.
Benefits include:
- the joy of watching your foster animal flourish in a loving and
nurturing environment
- You have a direct impact on the likelihood of the animal
becoming adopted
- You help reduce reliance on animal rescues
- It’s an opportunity for animal lovers who may not be able to
commit long term pet to make a difference in the lives of those as
they are able

We want to celebrate and thank the amazing volunteers who give their time to fostering animals in the City of Edmonton!

If you are interested in exploring the potential of fostering an animal, we encourage you to reach out to one of the amazing rescues in the City to see how you can help make the difference in the life of an animal in need.

It's an odd weather kind of day and these beautiful faces are eager to get home to enjoy some time with their humans. Have you seen them?
