Help dogs become free from life on a chain, tied in one spot for days, months, and years with inadequate shelter. PAWSitive Effects is operated by one person who gets help only from a spouse and a few volunteers if available, but that's improving as the organization grows. The dogs receive a real chain-link kennel with 4x4 posts concreted in the ground, not just a tiny pen purchased at a home store. The dog gets a proper doghouse, spay or neuter, vet check up. All at no cost to the dog's owner or property owner. Even in the case of rental property, the kennel becomes a permanent home for the dogs of future renters. PAWSitive Effects could use some help. Here are things needed: 5' and 6' chain link fencing, welded-wire fencing, walk-through gates; 7.5' metal T-posts, 8' 4x4 wooden posts; Quickcrete mix, dog houses all sizes, dog food, bowls, treats, toys, straw & cedar shavings. AND YOU! Your time, energy, and voice. Make a better life for a chained dog. GREENVILLE DOG PARK INFORMATION:
Canine Corner dog park is located across from the Cleveland Park Animal Hospital and horse stables on Woodland Way. In the photo above, that's wood chip mulch, not dirt. I've noticed large dogs and small dogs running freely with one another, so please keep watch on your small dogs. Dog Park Rules as Posted at Gate 1. Aggressive dogs are not welcome. Dogs displaying any aggressive behavior are to be removed immediately. 2. Dogs in heat and puppies under four months of age are prohibited. 3. Never leave any dog unattended.
