Barker Days Canceled Forever

March 16, 2022 By Chrissy

The Parker Recreation team feels fortunate to have been able to offer the Barker Days event for so many years. With the recent renovation to H2O’Brien Pool, the Town of Parker can no longer hold this type of event in the pool facility because of the risk of damage to our new amenities and pump/filtration system. Please continue to enjoy the USMC CPL David M. Sonka Dog Park with your puppy pals!

Dog-Friendly Bars & Patios in Denver

July 10, 2021 By Chrissy

We all know how nutty about Dogs Denver folks are. You really can’t walk in any park in town without seeing dozens of dogs and having a dog park nearby is at the top of the list for people moving to a new town in Colorado.

WHERE TO DRINK WITH YOUR DOG IN DENVER

We have searched out some doggie friendly bars throughout Denver for you to explore.

WATERING BOWL

When you’re on the Southeast side, you and your pup should head to the Watering Bowl to meet some new friends. This dog-friendly restaurant with vaulted ceilings has both a great beer selection and yummy, affordable appetizers. Because you’ve got your dog by your side, you might just want to hang out for hours. And so will your pup, thanks to the large outdoor area where he can do a bit of socializing of his own.

SPOT BAR & GRILL

Speer | 98 S Pennsylvania St, Denver, CO 80209

Locals come to Spot Bar & Grill in Speer for the delicious smoked wings and stay for the awesome outdoor seating area, perfect for hanging out with four-legged companions. Bonus: Vintage photos of dogs hung all over the walls!

Pooches are allowed on leash in the building and can even sample a “Dog Beerscuit” made from the spent grain from the brewing process. It is the place to head to if you love house-brewed premium ales and lagers made with fresh, local ingredients. Grab a pint and head out onto the dog-friendly beer garden where you can sip and socialize with fellow dog-lovers.

THE MATCHBOX

Five Points | 2625 Larimer St, Denver, CO 80220

This neighborhood watering hole in Five Points serves up great drinks with a side of Bocce ball.

Inside, you’ll find a  great jukebox and out front, rotating food trucks perfect for a post-drink snack.

JAKES FOOD & SPIRIT

RiNo – 3800 Walnut Street, Denver

Every community needs a friendly neighborhood tavern that delivers great meals, cheap drinks and a place to hang out with neighbors and friends. Prior to 2010, the historic Five Points communities of Cole, RiNo (River North), Whittier and Curtis Park had no such place to congregate, so being residents of Five Points ourselves we opened Jake’s Food & Spirits to accommodate the increased number of families, young couples and businesses moving into the area.

Located just a mile and a half from Coors Field in the heart of RiNo, Jake’s is open for lunch, happy hour, dinner, late-night dining and weekend brunch both inside and outside on our 100-seat, dog-friendly patio. Visit us to lounge on the patio, watch your favorite team on one of our 10 HDTVs

On warmer days, patrons flock to the dog-friendly outdoor seating area to enjoy libations. They’ll even bring your pup a water bowl so he can quench his thirst while you quench yours.

Dougherty’s Neighborhood Pub

Speer | 5 E Ellsworth Ave, Denver, CO 80209

Lost and Found Dogs & Cats in Colorado

Have you lost a pet? Found a Pet?

Don’t know where to start? Head to this Facebook page that’s open to everyone and will provide a free and powerful way to locate your lost family pet.

Join the Lost & Found Pets in Colorado Page on Facebook here.

SIX THINGS TO DO RIGHT AWAY!

Act fast!  Colorado shelters are, by law, only required to keep lost pets for 5 days. (If overcrowded.. some keep them for less)

SIX WAYS TO HELP YOU GET YOUR PET HOME IN COLORADO!: Whether you have lost a pet or found one, there are high tech & low tech tasks you should do right away

helping lost pets
  1. HelpingLostPets.com  Click this link and fill out the form. This puts your pet in a nationwide database and map, provides you with a flyer for printing to post in your neighborhood (old school still works!) and one to share online. Colorado Lost & Found pets will be emailed with that information and will post it to the Facebook page, added to the appropriate album. It will go out through both HeLP & the CO L&F Twitter feed. The posters also have a QR code.
  2. File a report with the Humane Society/Local Shelter. Some shelters allow this to be done online, but YOU should also go to the shelter. The shelters will often keep a list of animals not for public view. It also gives you a chance to go through their found/lost reports that are not usually online. Contact veterinary clinics in your area. Use their “Lost and Found” bulletin boards.  

Other Colorado Rescues by City
City and State Roads (deceased animals): 
This will vary by city and county. Check with your shelter for how your area handles deceased pets.

2. ONLINE! On Facebook, watch for your post yourself in your Colorado Lost & Found Pets Album post. Use that SAME file every time you share all over Facebook! This is SO IMPORTANT! The more that one image gets “liked and shared” the more powerful it is. Put that poster on YOUR facebook page.. Your friends might not know you are missing your dog.. Change your top banner & Profile photo to your LOST PET Photo!! Have more photos? add them in the comments of your pets album post.  RESPOND to people’s questions and follow up on ALL leads ASAP
Check & register with www.fidofinder.com – www.petharbor.com & Helping Lost Pets. (If you didn’t do this in step 1)

Fido Finder has a $5 fee to upload a photo of your pet which makes your ad much more effective.

ADD YOURSELF TO THE PETHARBOR EMAIL LIST: CHECK AREA SHELTER by going to Petharbor.com  Pet harbor will allow you to search at shelters within a 200-mile radius of your zip code. You can request to get a notification on new pets coming in.

(They also offer a service to send out postcard flyers to a certain zip code for a fee)

3. CRAIGSLIST! This is a place a lot of people go to when a pet is lost/found.

Craigslist can be tricky when looking for or post a lost or found pet

WHEN POSTING: Be clear if you have FOUND a dog. Post in Lost and Found OR in Pets, or both. Include a picture. We know there is concern about someone claiming a dog that is not theirs but leaving a picture out makes it tough for the people who are sincerely trying to find their pet. There are other ways to confirm ownership.

WHEN SEARCHING: Some people will post “LOST DOG” when they FOUND a lost dog. The breeds can be wrong — we have seen a cattle dog listed as an American Bulldog before. They can also leave very vague posts– e.g. “ I found a dog-call to describe” Same with cats.. you might not even know what “kind” of alley cat you own which is why I wrote this post: Guide to Alley Cats / Mixed Breeds by Color

NOTE: There have been some cases where dogs have been found being rehomed on Craigslist, so please keep an eye on all areas of Craigslist.

4. MICROCHIP! If you have found a pet…Has it Scanned for a Microchip at the local vet, shelter or Petsmart? If you have lost your pet, contact the chip company as they can often send out the alert (there might be a fee).

There are a few companies that do this. The most common is HomeAgain http://public.homeagain.com My favorite service is Petlink. They email me every quarter to remind me to update my information and it was a small one-time fee. www.petlink.net Not sure if your pet’s chip is registered? Enter the number here to check: http://www.petmicrochiplookup.org/

Some good insight from someone who lost their pet: “One problem we had that we didn’t know we had: Home Again never put our contact information in their system. When I called to alert them that we had a missing dog, they couldn’t help. I didn’t have the ID number. Check to see that the chip is registered! And make certain the second point of contact has the ID number.” Your Vet can check your chip for you to make sure it’s got the correct information on it.

5. FLYER FLYERS AND MORE FLYERS!!!!! OLD SCHOOL!

MOST Important!!! Post Flyers. Big Flyers. Let people know you are missing your pet. Unfortunately, some people will not call the Humane Society, and may not actively look for you, but if they see a flyer they may think twice about keeping your pet. Additionally, if one person in the family has decided to keep your pet, but someone else sees the sign they might act on getting your pet back. ( Remember, you got flyers in step #1)

Print Color Flyers with LARGE Letters a great Photo and your phone number. Make them easy to read! People will be driving by so if they can’t tell what it is then it’s not going to help you. Put the flyers in a sheet protector upside down and tape the bottom shut with duct tape. That way if Colorado weather happens, your posters won’t be soaked.

Halloween Tips for your Dogs and Cats

October 15, 2017 By Chrissy

dog in halloween costumeKeep Your Pets Safe on Halloween

Halloween is a fun holiday for humans, but there are some things you should do to make sure it doesn’t get scary for pets. Here are some tips that will help keep pets safe:

  • Protect your pets on Halloween by keeping them indoors. A pet that’s out at night with trick-or-treaters might get spooked by noises and costumes, which could cause him to run away.

Halloween Safety for Cats

  • Cats should be kept indoors at all times, and if you have a solid black or solid white cat, you should be especially careful about keeping it indoors on Halloween. Some people are superstitious about cats and may try to scare or harm them.
  • Keep pets confined and away from the door while you’re greeting trick-or-treaters to prevent them from darting outdoors.

Halloween Safety for Dogs

  • Your dog may feel that his territory is being invaded by the constant onslaught of visitors. Keep your dog in a secluded area of the house to help him stay calm and prevent him from growling or possibly biting your visiting ghouls and goblins.
  • Keep Halloween candy out of your pet’s reach because it can make your pet sick. In fact,  chocolate and raisins can be fatal to dogs. Instead, celebrate Halloween with goodies made especially for pets, like dog biscuits or cat treats.

Animal Costume Tips

hound dog in halloween costumeAll Colorado dogs are Bronco Fans so if you need a costume, check out some great options here or these Fun dog costumes here. Who doesn’t love dressing up their four-legged friend for the holiday? Here are some Halloween costume safety tips to prevent a frightfully dangerous night:

  • Don’t restrict your pet’s ability to walk and sit down comfortably. If your dog or cat looks miserable, they probably are.
  • Don’t make your pet wear a mask that covers their eyes, ears or nose.
  • Don’t put your pet in a costume that makes it difficult to breathe. This is especially important for flat-nosed dogs such as bulldogs, pugs, Boston terriers and Pekinese.
  • Always supervise your dog while in costume so they don’t chew or eat any costume parts.
These tips were provided by the Denver Dumb Friends League
‘Top Dog” Eileen Proctor, Denver’s newest pet lifestyle expert offered some statistics and do’s and don’ts of dressing pets in Halloween costumes.
  • According to the National Retail Federation, 15% of Americans plan to deck out their dogs this Halloween
  • Americans will spend nearly $300 million on costumes for pets this year

To make sure dogs are safe and comfortable in their costumes:

  • Avoid masks that cover the face and ears
  • Mobility/freedom of motion is essential
  • Costumed pets should be supervised at all times
  • Help pets ease into the act of dressing up in the few days leading up to Halloween
  •  If your pet looks miserable, they probably are. Opt for a festive bandana instead.
If you want everyone in town to see your fabulous pooch decked out in his Superman costume be sure to come down to Mainstreet for the event of the Halloween season… “Trick or Treat on Mainstreet”.

Dealing with Wildlife in Douglas County Colorado

September 13, 2016 By Chrissy

 “Wildlife in Our Town”

One of the most attractive thing about living in Douglas County is the abundant wildlife and open space but that very close to nature feel can also be very challenging to newcomers to the area.

 This is the first in a two-part series about how to live with wildlife in the Town of Parker.

In most situations, people and wildlife can coexist. The key is to respect the wildness of wildlife.

• Do NOT feed wildlife! Feeding songbirds is okay, but be aware it may attract other animals.
• Don’t give wildlife the opportunity to get into your garbage. Store it in metal of plastic containers with tight-fitting lids. Keep the cans in a garage or shed and put trash out only when it’s scheduled to be picked up.
• Keep pet food inside.
• Fence gardens and cover fruit trees with commercially available netting to protect your harvest.
• Leave wildlife alone! Wildlife should not be harassed, captured, domesticated or fed.

Snakes

In Colorado, nearly all species of snakes are not only harmless but beneficial to humans because of their appetites for insects and rodents. However, if you prefer to keep them from moving into your yard or home, follow these four tips:
1. Eliminate cool, damp areas where snakes hide. Remove brush and rock piles, keep shrubbery away from foundations and cut tall grass.
2. Control insect and rodent populations (the snakes’ primary food source) to force them to seek areas with a larger food supply. Put grains in tightly sealed containers and clean up residual pet food and debris.
3. In rattlesnake-infested areas, construct a snakeproof fence around the backyard or play area.
4. To prevent snakes from entering basements and crawl spaces, seal all openings ¼-inch or larger with mortar, caulking compound or 1/8-inch hardware cloth. Check for holes or cracks around doors, windows, water pipes, electrical lines, etc.

Snakes may seek shelter in basements, sheds, or crawl spaces in cold weather. If it becomes necessary to remove a snake, several humane methods are available.
1. A good way to remove a nonvenomous snake is to seek it into a large bucket with a broom and then release it outdoors.
2. Damp burlap sacks covered with dry sacks to retain moisture are attractive denning sites when placed along a wall in a basement or crawl space. Check the bags daily and remove snakes with a shovel.

Deer

In areas where deer are common, shrub and tree damage may be a problem. Commercial deer repellents or mixtures containing eggs have proven successful in warding off deer. You can also keep deer from eating flowers and shrubs by putting wire cylinders and fences around plants or by planting deer-resistant plants.

If you come across a fawn lying quietly by itself leave it alone. Even though the fawn appears to be orphaned, it is not alone; its mother is nearby, aware and attentive. If you are absolutely certain the parent animal has abandoned their young, mark the location on a map or measure the mileage from a landmark and report it to the Animal Services Officer.

For more information on living with wildlife, visit www.ParkerPolice.org/wildlife.

Pacu Piranha fished out of Bingham Lake in Parker

September 2, 2012 By Chrissy

pacu found in parkers bingham lakeLocal resident Garry Norman got a big surprise Saturday when fishing in the catch and release Bingham Lake in Parker.

Normally this lake has a few tadpoles, some small bass or trout but certainly not a flesh-eating South American species of Piranha.

It’s likely that someone bought the Pacu from a pet store and when it started outgrowing their fish tank and eating the other fish they decided to let it go in the pond.

“It was going to eat too much vegetation and kill everything else in the lake,” said Norman when Fox 31’s Mark Meredith interviewed him.

This is certainly true. Wikipedia says this species of Piranha grows much larger as big as 3 feet long and weighing 55 pounds. That would have been a big surprise for the happy labs that jump in to fetch a stick or two.

Garry Norman has him in isolation from the rest of the tropical fish he keeps at his home.

How to handle Coyote encounters in Parker Douglas County CO

October 1, 2011 By Chrissy

Coyote sightings occur on a frequent basis in Parker, as well as in our surrounding communities. Residents should expect to see coyotes in this area, but are encouraged to employ hazing tactics to deter them from becoming too comfortable around people. The goal of hazing is NOT to hurt or endanger animals, rather to help change behaviors and establish and maintain a healthy wariness of humans in local coyote populations.

The Colorado Department of Wildlife recommends the following hazing techniques: 

  • Yell and clap
  • Bang pots and pans together
  • Throw rocks and sticks
  • Spray with garden hoses, water guns or sprinklers
  • Use noise-making devises such as air horns, whistles, cans filled with pennies, etc.
  • Install motion sensor lights and sprinkler systems at your home
  • Use deterrent sprays

Residents should not seek them out, but are encouraged to use these methods if they are approached by or come in close proximity to coyotes.

Residents are also encouraged to avoid walking between dusk and dawn – hours when coyotes are most active. Keep all pets on a leash when walking and avoid areas with a lot of vegetative cover for coyotes. Walk with a friend and/or carry a noisemaker, walking stick or similar deterrent with you. Also be vigilant about supervising your pet when they are outside, especially if your home backs to a trail or open space.

If a coyote approaches too closely or engages in aggressive behavior towards you or your pet, please contact Animal Services at 303.841.9800.
