PHOENIX DOG PARK UPDATE [FEBRUARY 3, 2012]
We are happy to announce the re-opening of Area 1 of the Dog Park. All areas of the Dog Park are now open!
If you are questioning on what area is appropriate for your dog I would recommend you view the Fair Oaks Responsible Dog Owners (FORDOG) article titled: “Big Dogs, Little Dogs: Who Belongs Where?” http://www.fordog.org/Articles/BigDogs-LittleDogs.pdf .
Thank you all for be being so patient and flexible during the maintenance!
Nick Davison, FORPD
NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR FORDOG
For the last several years, you've been receiving communications from FORDOG under the Comcast address FORDOG@Comcast.Net. But the Comcast account is owned by a private individual, and as such is at risk of someday not being available.
So to get ahead of the game, so to speak, we're switching email addresses now, to something free.
(the "95628" of course is the zip code for Fair Oaks -- we hope it will be easy to remember once you get used to it).
The Comcast address will still be valid for several months, so if you forget and use that one, you'll still reach us, as messages will be forwarded to the new address; and you are supposed to also see a message about the forwarding. But messages FROM us will be from the "gmail" address.
Any questions? Don't hesitate to ask. And as always, thanks for your support of the dog park!
-- Marcia, for FORDOG

FEBRUARY BREED: AZAWAKH
Origin: Africa (Sighthound) Tall and elegant, the Azawakh is a West African sighthound who originates from the countries of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. The Azawakh has a short, fine coat which may come in any color or color combinations: red, clear sand to fawn, brindled, parti-color (which may be predominantly white), blue, black and brown. The head may have a black mask and there may be white markings on the legs, bib and at the tip of tail. There are no color or marking disqualifications in the breed. Befitting its heritage, the Azawakh excels as a companion, guardian and a lure courser in the United States.
Any information regarding your pet's interests, talents or best qualities; perhaps, a funny anecdote!
Once received, we will create a page dedicated to your pet in
"The Kennel" . If you don't have a picture, let us know, and we'll meet you at the Dog Park and take the picture for you.
Send us your E-Mail Address. FORDOG keeps their mailings to a minimum, but it's a great way to let our Dog Park users know quickly if we need assistance such as donated bags, tennis balls, or if we need volunteers for a K9 event. FORDOG never gives out anyone's address. We consider that private information.
Please send your E-Mail address to FORDOG95628@GMail.Com or E-Mail us if you have any questions about the Dog Park.
Thanking you in advance for your support.
STATEMENT OF APPRECIATION TO THE FORDOG MEMBERSHIP
The Phoenix Dog Park has been a very successful community project since its inception in 2002. We are establishing an excellant reputation in the neighborhood as a well-run facility that is an asset to the community.
The Dog Park was originally created as a "Test Case" with the Park District in 2001 and has proven so successful that the Park District included a new dog park in their 5-year Phoenix Park improvement plans. This new park was officially opened for business on October 22, 2006.
The FORDOG Steering Committee would like to thank all of the responsible dog owners (our "membership") who have helped keep our Dog Park safe and clean. We would also like to thank the many of you who have generously contributed to the support of Phoenix Dog Park in so many ways.
FORDOG ( Fair Oaks Responsible Dog Owners Group) is a volunteer organization of dog owners who support the off-leash facility at Phoenix Park in Fair Oaks, California . Our primary purpose is to work with the Fair Oaks Recreation and Parks District to ensure the success of this dog park. We also support activities and organizations that promote the health, welfare and sociability of dogs in our community. To achieve these goals, we:
Provide input and support for Fair Oaks Dog Park.
Provide volunteers to help maintain and keep up the dog park.
Engage in fundraising activities to enhance dog park utility.
