Give Your Dog Just What it Wants This Weekend

The west metro is full of off-leash dog parks.

What's better than running free on a summer afternoon? Your new puppy probably couldn't agree more. Take them for some fun in the sun at one of the Three Rivers Parks District's off-leash dog parks, where your pooch can stretch his or her legs without having to wait for you to catch up!

Just make sure to get Fido licensed, first, say city officials. 

In an email announcement Friday, city officials reminded Hopkins residents that dogs older than six months residing in the city have to have a license. To get one, you must show proof of spaying or neutering, a rabies tag number, and an expiration date of a rabies tag to receive a license.

Licenses are a great help when trying to reunite a lost dog with its owners. More information is available on the city's website.
