This is another Dog Friendly email- so of course, if you’re not smitten with the four legged beasts just disregard. It’s Summer… time for alot of fun events and activities. For dog lovers, it is especially nice to be able to bring your best friend. Of course, well-socialized dogs and observing the rules are a must!
Here’s a few events and places that welcomes polite dogs:

West End events– Well behaved dogs are welcomed in the West End. You can bring Fido to the West End Movie Night at DeTurk Round Barn Park, West End Bocce– every Friday night during the Summer at DeMeo Park, the West End Poodle Party every 2nd Sunday at 11 a.m. at DeTurk Dog Park & Pug Play Day at DeTurk Dog Park- every 3rd Sunday 10 a.m. during summer months.

Dog Friendly businesses: Western Farm Center is a special place to bring your dog and it’s  fun to socialize with other dogs and their owners. The friendly folk at the register will even offer your beloved pet a treat. The Santa Rosa Visitor’s Center knows that many people travel with their pets- they offer treats and a cool bowl of water. D’Argenzio Winery is a wonderful place to socialize & drink wine- an extra bonus is that well-mannered dogs are welcomed.

Downtown Santa Rosa: Rendez Vous Bistro allows well-mannered dogs on their patio. You can enjoy wonderful food and wine, accompanied with you dog in the true Parisian style.  Live at Juilliard is a free music concert series every Sunday evening until August 14th-  5-7 p.m. Enjoy the music with your whole family (on 4 or 2 legs) in a beautiful park setting.

July 17th– Pug Play Day Perky Pugs gather to socialize and snort. Very cute! Pug Play Day is held on the 3rd Sunday of every month. Location: DeTurk Round Barn Dog Park Time: 10 a.m. Contact Lisa Howard for more info

Dog Park Ettiquette Tip: When a new dog enters the park-  call your dogs to you so that the new dog and owner can enter the park. This makes for a smoother, calmer transition for the new dog that’s joining in.

DeTurk Dog Park needs your plastic bags– bread bags, newspaper bags, grocery bags. Leave them hanging on the fence… and we’ll take it from there… thanks!
