KAT Famblies don't need NUFFIN! :D

It's just the DAWGGIES that need to have a Park PERMIT to
enter the Dog Park area.

"Humans" - as long as they are current on their "shots" -
don't need a permit! :D

KATs are welcome to attend - and we've HAD KATs attend -
but they always *hang out* at the picnic pavilion and don't
usually wander into the Doggie Domain.

PLAN to ATTEND - you don't really NEED a Dawg to have *PHUNN*!
But - I'm sure we can arrange to LOAN You a Dawg -
if you feel the need!! ;)

Deb (and any other First Timers at Findlay) ~

Best suggestion is READ the Thread from our previous
Gathurin at Findlay >>>

"When's our Next Ohio Gathurin..."

You'll get a "feel" for the planning AND the "results"...

After we get an idea of how many Hoomins are going to attend -
everyone kinda *volunteers* to bring a Favorite Dish
to share with the group ~ most ANYthing that you'd bring to a Picnic goes...
Usually the only Food PROBLEM we have is there's TOO Much and
TOO Many for just one day! ;)

The Main Course is usually Burgers & Brats cooked on the grill;
and enough Salads, Sides, and Deserts to send everyone home
with a WELL-Stuffed tummy!

Next Week we'll prolly add the Menue Post for folks to sign up on.

.

We might go if mom and dad go.

How would we get a permit for Muffin?

Oops, just found the answer to previous question! Thanks!

Okay, now I have more questions... sorry!

Is it allowed for an out of state dog to get a permit there?

How do you get an "annual health certificate" and do you mail it with the app?

Will they mail my permit to me?

I think that's all the questions I have for now, thanks!

How do we go about registering for the dog park?

---

Here are *links* to two Hancock Parks District web pages;

The first link has an brief "Tail" about the Dog Park at the
Very BOTTOM of the page >>>

Hancock Parks / Riverbend DOG PARK

And here is the *link* to see and PRINT the
Dog Park Yearly Permit Application >>>

Hancock DOG Park PERMIT Application (note: is an Adobe .pdf file)

NOTE: You Must Have "Adobe Acrobat Reader" installed on
your 'puter to Load & See this .pdf file...
If you don't have Adobe Reader -
I guess PM Me at "Cinder & Smoke" and we'll get you a form.

Note 2: The Application is TWO Pages long -
be SURE to Print Page 1 AND Page 2;
Page 2 is a WAIVER that Must Be Signed & Returned -
and is at the Very BOTTOM of page 2. ;)

What you need to SEND IN with the Application is >>

1) CHECK made out to Hancock Parks Foundation with
Memo to: Dog Park Permit

2) COPY (originals won't be returned) of the Dog's
. . Annual Vaccination Record from the VET...
. . (A Copy of the Office Visit Receipt is fine if the SHOTS
. . are noted & has Vet's Name on it).
. . DATE needs to be within ONE Year of now.

3) COPY of RABIES Vaccination Receipt ...
. . DATE within 1 or 3 years - depending on the vaccine used;
. . Most Rabies Receipts show an EXPIRATION date for the shot -
. . Rabies Vacc must be "current" (not expired).

4) All Dogs must also be "Licensed" by the City, Town, County,
or State where you LIVE. Fido should be *wearing* his/her License.

Send it all to:
Hancock Parks District
Attn: Dog Permit
1424 Eeast Main Cross Street
Findlay, OH 45840

Cost of $10 / year registers 1, 2 or 3 Dogs.
(From December 1 to December 31 of the Following Year)
You'll receive a Plastic Laminated "Permit Card" in the Mail -
BRING IT WITH you on visits -
they WILL be Checking Permits this year!!

A note about the "DATES" shown on your Receipts ~
Parks is "happy" if the Dates on the Vet & Rabies Receipts are
"Current" within the LAST 12 Months of when you send them in...
In other words; if Fido had his "Shots" anytime AFTER August 19 of 2003 -
he's Good to Go!

And a 3 year Rabies shot is good if it was given
AFTER August 19, 2001.

** Write DOWN the ZIP Code - they forgot to put it ON the Application! :rolleyes:

And: The Application has LAST year's Dates on it - "2003" -
don't worry - They'll send a 2004 Permit! ;)

ANY Questions??
Post em or PM me. ;)

/s/ Phred

Q: Is it allowed for an out of state dog to get a permit there?

A: YES! Dogs can "live" ANYwhere...
But they DO need to be "Licensed"
by their HOME City, Town, County, or State;
and WEAR their "License Tag".

Q: How do you get an "annual health certificate"
and do you mail it with the app?

A: Read post above...
"Annual Health Certificate" isn't really required -
Parks is happy to see a Dated RECEIPT with the VET's Name on it
that shows the Dog(s) were SEEN by the Vet AND
Received "Annual Vaccinations".
A Seperate RABIES VACCINATION Report/Receipt is also required.
Make and SEND *COPIES* of the original receipts -
WITH the Application and Payment -
Parks will NOT return your receipts!

Q: Will they mail my permit to me?

A: Yuppers!! Via gud ole Furst Klass US Mail! :D

;) .

Thanks... I found that after I posted, too *blushes*

My final question... will I still have enough time to get a permit? It sounds like fun!

Q: Will I still have enough time to get a permit?

A: Depends mostly on You...

Parks will only take a day or two to *look* at the Application
and Mail Out the Permit Card...

If You have the Vaccination & Rabies receipts;
and send everything required by sometime next week -
No Sweat!

:D
..

Great! Thank you very much!

Thanks Anna! :D


I'm curious -- Since we already have a permit, would be have to register again with Kiara.. or would be just be able to add her to our current one?


I think my dad would really let me go if my aunt hadn't taken $200+ of my money. :( I could have paid for half of the trip.

Kiara can be ADDED to your current Permit...

The COST to ADD her depends upon
How Many Dogs are already ON that Permit ...

If your/Dad's Permit only has Simba & Nala on it now...
Then Kiara is a FREE-BEE... because you can have THREE Dogs
on ONE Permit for $10.00.

You'd just send in another Application Form,
*WITH* Kiara's Vet / Shot / Rabies Receipts -
and a *Note* asking that she be *ADDED* to your current Permit.
Be sure to use the SAME Name as you did before.

IF Kiara will be the FOURTH Dog on the permit -
you'll have to send an additional $5.00 with the App & Vet Papers.

;)

Thanks Phred! :)

She is the 4th cause we added Honey onto our previous one. :)

sirrahved & sirrahbed...
I hope you both come! Hey, if your coming from Dayton why don't you make a pit stop by my house! Then you could follow me there.
Just a thought:)
