If you don't have a dog of your own Dublin's Irish Setter, Ziggy, will be having a meet and greet to share information about animal adoption.
Nando's Dog Park: Looking for a place to give your dog some exercise? Dublin is home to Nando's Dog Park! Located in Darree Fields Park, Nando's is an off-leash park for dog's to run, play and mingle with other dogs.
Always remember the 3 most important rules of any dog park:
1. Parks are open from dawn to dusk
2. Your dog's vaccinations must be up-to-date
3. Clean up after your dog

Stop in from 6:00pm through 9:00pm with your canine, purchase a scoop of any flavor and your furry friend receives a treat of their own. Sample Frosty Paws treats and socialize with other dog-lovers on their patio area!

If so, head to Coffman Stadium for the Independence Day Celebration on July 4th for the annual Skyhoundz Hyperflite Canine Frisbee Disc Championship. Competition starts promptly at 5:00pm. The best of the best come out to show off their skills, and we expect nothing but the best this year!
