Visit Woodland Park Dog Park tomorrow afternoon, with Puggles!

If you’ve never been to the off-leash area (OLA) in Woodland Park and prefer the company of small dogs, tomorrow is a great day to go.

Lost dog spotted running around Green Lake

From craigslist: Date: 2009-12-25, 8:22PM PST Reply to: comm-qttu3-1524664399@craigslist.org There is a dog running around green lake it looks lost and scared. It won’t come to people and it’s very scared. Did you loose a dog? I couldn’t tell if it was brown or black as it’s dark outside, it might be mixed in color hard to tell. It reminded me of an aussie or collie or some mix. It was a medium dog and looked healthy. If you lost a dog go look around green lake area and by the shops around green lake.
