Dogs are welcome to accompany their human companions but they must be leashed at all times and up to date on all tags and vaccine shots.

Admission is $10 or $5 with a food donation of at least one pound. Additionally, Red Dog will donate $25 for each new park membership they sign, at a cost of $100 annually.

The Cincinnati Pet Food Pantry is a nonprofit organization founded by Recycled Doggies and the Pet Alliance. It offers temporary assistance to pet owners who may be having trouble providing for their animals during the recession by giving free pet food and cat litter to eligible applicants.
Anyone seeking help from the pantry must be at least 18 years of age, present a valid photo I.D., fill out an application listing everyone in the household who is younger than 18, and agree to submit a new application if the number of pets changes or the person moves.
A copy of the application and eligibility guidelines may be obtained at the pantry's Web site or by calling 513-275-5842.
