Dogs Gone Wild fundraiser for the Denville dog park and animal shelter was billed as an off leash swimming and playing for event your dogs enjoyment, picnic area for your enjoyment. The fee for the event was $10 for dog park members $20 for non members all money goes to support the denville dog park and animal shelter.
Previous years’ Dogs Gone Wild have helped create and build the Happy Hound Playground (Denville Dog Park) as well as help pay for the new Gazebo, benches, picnic tables and the new dog pool that will be installed this spring at the dog park. Contributions have also helped pay for medical expenses for animals that are in need at the Denville Animal shelter.
This was the first time Scraps and Rags ever made it to this event and from the talk we heard, the turnout was better than ever. It was cloudy with no sun but it wasn’t cold and it never rained. While no people went in the water above their knees, many a dog took the opportunity to play in the water and have some wet fun. It was tough to recognize many of the dogs that were we because they just don’t look the same.
There was a high density of dogs in and around the water giving me up close access to a lot of action. The only thing missing was the sun. Nevertheless, the happiness of the dogs playing in the water with so many of their friends in and around them more than made up for the lack of sunlight and resulted in many good pictures.
I hope the event made some good money for Denville and Scraps and Rags look forward to coming to many more of these Dogs Gone Wild events at Cook’s Pond. You can also help support the dog park buy purchasing photographs of the dogs I took during the day.
