Boise Resumes Seasonal Dog Off-Leash Program

Animal Humane New Mexico is promoting its Pet of the Week, Hank, a shy but sweet retriever/labrador mix, while also announcing fee-waived adoptions for dogs from October 26 to November 3, coinciding with their upcoming Doggie Dash and Dawdle event on November 3. In the UK, Nonsuch Park will implement a licensing scheme for professional dog walkers starting April 2025, requiring an annual fee and limiting walkers to six dogs to ensure responsible management of the park. Boise Parks and Recreation is reinstating its seasonal dog off-leash program at three parks, encouraging pet owners to take advantage of the open areas while reminding them to clean up after their dogs and cautioning against unsafe ice conditions. Additionally, dog park permits for six Forest Preserve parks in Illinois will be available for purchase starting November 1, offering residents and nonresidents access with specific rules and fees. The initiatives across different regions highlight ongoing efforts to promote responsible pet ownership and enhance community spaces for dog lovers.
