Good news for San Fran dogs and the people who love them: the dog park at the Noe Valley Rec Center is finally re-opened. You can thank Supervisor Bevan Dufty for this -- the DPA (dog play area) was slated to open in August with the rest of the recently renovated space, but Dufty pushed for a faster open. (I mean -- it's August now, obviously, but the run opened about a week ago.)
Then again, Dufty is also the Supe who wrote the SF ordinance requiring that all pit bulls be neutered. Hero of the hour or enemy of the dog state? I'm going to throw my hat in the ring for "neither, just a politician trying to do his job," but I'm open to other interpretations.
I have loved dogs my entire life. I now own a black labrador/aussie mix and i am training a guide dog puppy who is a lab. I have worked in two vet clinics and i loved beeing able to help animals in need. I have also previously raised and trained a guide dog named Garth who I now miss very much. When I was younger my family owned a wonderful and energetic peach colored standar poodle named Sparky and two cats. One white siamese named angel and one brown grey tabby named lucifer (after the cat in cinderella). Because of my love of cats and dogs I decided to start a store for pets so I can continue to help and provide for them.
