Small dogs are missing out.

City council received a letter from a resident saying a designated small breed off-leash dog park is greatly needed in Salmon Arm.

香蕉视频直播淪mall dogs cannot play in an area where large dogs are allowed to run off leash. Many small dogs are simply afraid of and not comfortable around large dogs. Also, many large dogs naturally want to chase small dogs. Please take this into consideration,香蕉视频直播 wrote resident Pamela Rhine.

She said many cities she has visited have dog parks for small dogs, noting that shade would be necessary as small dogs overheat more quickly than large ones. A big area would not be needed, she added, as many small breed parks she has seen are about 150 square feet.

Coun. Kevin Flynn responded to the request at council香蕉视频直播檚 May 23 meeting, wondering if the option exists to include a small dog park at Klahani Park in South Canoe.

He said he wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 make a motion at this time, but he might sit down with city staff to see about options. He pointed out he had been in a dog park in Kelowna the day before, where, right beside the main dog park, was a smaller fenced-in area for small breeds. He said a sign there had specifications regarding size of pets.
