It’s disappointing to see some continue to ignore the clear rule: dogs are not allowed on Lorkin Daniell Field at any time. This rule exists to protect the health of our children, who use the field daily to play, and people that use this space to exercise and take part in sports.![]()

⚠ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS!!! ⚠![]()
![]()
Many people think it's ok to leave their dog in the car if they're parked in the shade or the windows are open. IT IS NOT OK!! 🥵![]()
![]()
A car can become as hot as an oven, even when the weather doesn't feel that warm. When it's 22 degrees Celsius outside, the car could reach an unbearable 47 degrees within an hour. It's very dangerous and will cause your dog suffering and harm.![]()
![]()
A few minutes in a hot car can mean a lifetime without your dog!![]()
