We would like to thank Mr. Brian Harper for his generous offer to cut the dog park! Their family recently adopted a dog from us and they’re regulars at our park. This is how our community works together!!

The dog park will close for maintenance around 12:00 on Friday 4/18 and will reopen when he is done.

If you’re interested in getting on the schedule to help, please reach out so we can continue providing a safe place for the dogs of our area!

Hello Barktopia members!!

As some of you are aware, the grass at the dog park is getting pretty long. The dog park is an extension of Hub City Humane Society and does not receive any funding to help maintain the property.

🐾We are looking for a volunteer or two to help maintain the grass at the dog park. Volunteers would have to provide their own equipment.

The shelter does not have the staff or funds to keep up with the shelter property and the dog park at this time. We hope we can find a solution in order to keep the dog park open for the Hattiesburg public. If we are unable to find help, we will have to close down the park due to unsafe conditions for visitors.

Do you recognize this dog? Today, someone came to the dog park and started asking if anyone knew someone who could take it. As the dog began to play, the owner took off and left it abandoned in our park. The dog sprinted after the owner and was so upset. This is the second time this week this has happened. We cannot survive and continue to do what we do if dogs and animals keep being dumped. This is not the answer! We take dogs, but we have a system to protect our animals and the animal coming in. We only can handle so many animals because of space, funds and employees. Please help us find this owner and please stop dumping animals before we are one of the many shelters who have to close!

Due to people not cleaning up after their pets, we have had to close the dog park for maintenance until further notice. We are accepting volunteers to help clean up the park so that it can be opened back up quickly! Please clean up after your pet!

Hello everyone! We received complaints that the dog park is having issues with people not cleaning up after their pets. It is important not only for hygienic reasons to pick up your after your dog when they p**p, but it also ruins the fun if dogs and people are stepping in your animal’s p**p. This is your responsibility to clean up after your animal not anyone else’s. Please do so! We do not want to have to change our park to a membership only park or something to that extent where you have to pay a fee, but if no one is caring about the park, that may become a reality so that we are able to pay for it to be cleaned up.

Hello everyone! I wanted to update everyone on the dog park. As of today, $160 has been donated to Hub City Humane Society toward the upkeep of the dog park on PayPal from January 2021 to today. Please please please help us by marking your donation on PayPal. I am going to see if any checks have been dropped off. Our PayPal is https://www.paypal.me/hubcithumanesociety?locale.x=en_US
As a board, we have decided to put a fence in on our side and allow our shelter dogs to use the park for exercise. We want y’all to be aware that we will be allowing our dog friendly dogs into the park! We also encourage any of you to come grab a dog if you arrive at the park and your dog needs a playmate! Our dogs always need a good run and socialization!

Go to paypal.me/hubcithumanesociety and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.
