Help Support Our Local Shelter! Paws' 3rd Annual Bark in the Park Dog Walk!

It’s time for Paws' 3rd Annual Bark in the Park Dog Walk! This important event helps to raise much-needed funds to support the programs and services we provide to homeless animals in our community on a daily basis.

On Sunday September 19th, 2010 (rain or shine!) you and your dog can lend a paw to help homeless animals in our community receive the most precious gift of all - a second chance at love. The main event is a dog walk on the scenic wooded trails of Cranbury Park in Norwalk, CT but there are lots of other activities planned such as vendors, demonstrations, food concession, PAWS merchandise for sale and great prizes for those that participate in the walk.

Please visit their website and sign up to walk or help raise funds for PAWS!

Norwalk Dog Park- Cranbury Park

Cranbury Park in Norwalk, CT (located at 300 Grumman Ave.) is a great place to take social and active dogs.  "The Dog Orchard" is equivalent to a dog park, except for the fact that it isn't fenced in.  It is far enough away from the road that it isn't too dangerous, but you should only go if your dog comes when called. 

It is a popular area for dogs in Norwalk; when the weather is nice there are many dogs to play with.  "The Dog Orchard" is the only place other than the wooded trails where your dog can roam off leash.  It is a beautiful space surrounded by Sugar Maple Trees and Evergreens.  The park provides a doggie water fountain and baggie stations to curb your dog.  There is also plenty of bench seating and pinic benches for people's comforts.  If you are the active type you might consider taking your dog for a hike or jog on their trails- which are beautiful- since the dogs are allowed to be off leash here too.  This park is very pet friendly, and as long as your dog is well behaved, I would highly recommend it.
