We provide special care for handicapped dogs. We want them to enjoy our Park Outings too. These special dogs will be lifted and placed onto their personal van seat, which is covered with a clean towel. Here, they will be securely tethered to their seat. When we get to the park, these handicapped dogs will be lifted and placed into a stroller cart. This cart will be pushed alongside the walking dogs and our handicapped friends will enjoy all the fun of a walk through the park. After the walk, they will be lifted and placed onto a beach towel under a tree on the park grass. From here, they will be able to have fun socializing with their dog pals. They can enjoy the fresh Park air, nice smells, and the excitement of being with their dog friends. We will make sure that they have fresh cool water.
On our Heat Escape Treat for July, August and September, we go to Oxnard State Beach Park. Here on hot summer afternoons, the temperature is 20 degrees cooler than the Sherwood Area. This amazing 60-Acre Park has a huge groomed, green grass area, 400 palm trees and the beach is only a two minute walk away. We have a special beach stroller cart with balloon tires so we can push our handicapped friends through the soft sand. This Park is in Ventura County where dogs are allowed on the beach.
American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) recommends: “Outdoor enrichment is essential for a disabled dogs, mental and physical health. Exploring new scents and environments helps prevent depression and cognitive decline.”
