| Notice as of July 2, 2008: Due to malfunctions with the electrical irrigation system, the sprinklers in the dog park may go on unexpectedly. We are working to correct the problem and we apologize in advance for any inconvenience. |
The Rancho Bernardo Dog Park is part of the Rancho Bernardo Community Park, which is under the auspices of the City of San Diego's Park and Recreation Department. To minimize costly damage and longer closure, the pens and playing fields are periodically closed during the rainy season. We appreciate your patience and understanding when they are closed.
Please remember it is a City ordinance that all dogs remain on leashes at all times in public places, except in the dog pens.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the pen and/or field closures or any other community park issues, please contact the designated officials who deal with the issues ~ our Dog Park Liaison at Rbns1nest@aol.com, or the Community Park office at (858) 538-8129. Thank you again for your patience and understanding when we deem it necessary to close the pens and playing fields.
| To ease the current overcrowding situation at the County Animal Shelters because summer is a busy time for us, from May 31 through August 30 we are waiving adoption fees for cats 6 months and older, and all dogs 5 years of age and older. Plus, fees are waived for any dog or cat that has been at the shelter more than 30 days. This promotion is at all three shelters, Carlsbad, San Diego and Bonita. Our website is www.sddac.com. |

If I didn't have dogs I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety. My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated. All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair. When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like a kennel. When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through fuzzy bodies who beat me there. I could sit on the couch and my bed the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how much space several fur bodies would need to get comfortable. I would have money ....and no guilt to go on a real vacation. I would not be on a first-name basis with 6 veterinarians, as I put their yet unborn grand kids through college. The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: out, sit, down, come, no, stay, and leave him/her/it ALONE. My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers. My house would not look like a day care center, toys everywhere. My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, treats and an extra leash. I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L, F-R-I-S-B-E- E, W-A-L-K, T-R-E-A-T, B-I-K-E, G-O, C-A-R, R-I-D-E. I would not look strangely at people who think having ONE dog/cat ties them down too much. I'd look forward to spring and the rainy season instead of dreading "mud" season. I would not have to answer the question "Why do you have so many animals?" from people who will never have the joy in their lives of knowing they are loved unconditionally by someone as close to an angel as they will ever get. How EMPTY my life would be! |
