PWC Dogs supporting K-9 Gunner Memorial Dog Park

PWC Dogs supporting K-9 Gunner Memorial Dog Park A volunteer group working with PWC Parks & Recreation to develop/maintain off-leash dog parks in the county, and educate on responsible play.

Prince William County Dogs (PWC Dogs) was founded in 2011 as part of an effort to bring public off-leash playgrounds for dogs to Prince William County. Dog owners seeking opportunities to exercise their dogs could not find them locally, and so a group of citizens came together to work with the Prince William County Park Authority (now PWC Parks & Recreation) to integrate dog parks into our county

park system. In April 2013, the K-9 Gunner Memorial Park was built at 13000 Minnieville Road with the support of community donations and efforts on behalf of PWC Dogs, PWC Parks & Rec, Lake Ridge Parks & Rec Association, Supervisor Mike May and the PWC Board of Supervisors, and the Prince William Trails & Streams Coalition. We continue our efforts to maintain our current park, while seeking further opportunities for dogs to play and socialize safely. To donate to PWC Dogs so we may continue upkeep on our park and do more for the dogs and people who love them in our community, or for information on upcoming events and volunteer opportunities, visit www.pwcdogs.com

Scammers posing as SPCA and animal welfare staff

Are you the parent of a fur baby? Then you know how tough it is when your cat, dog, or other adorable pet is sick, in pain, or injured. You’d do anything for them. Scammers are using that feeling to steal your hard-earned money.
Here’s how the scam works. You get a call or text from someone who says they’re a staff member at the local SPCA or another animal shelter. They tell you that your pet was hit by a car, and you need to pay $500 right away to save them. Conveniently, they tell you exactly how to pay.
If you’re at home with your pet, you’ll know right away that it’s a scam. If you aren’t at home and you’re worried, here are some steps to help stop the scammers in their tracks.
• Call the shelter yourself. Look up the phone number of the shelter the person says they’re calling from. Call them yourself to see if Boots, Rascal, or Thor is there.
• Listen to how they tell you to pay. Scammers will insist you can only pay with cash, a gift card, a wire transfer, cryptocurrency, or a payment app. Those are ways that get scammers the money quickly…and make it hard for you to get it back.
• Report the scam. If you encounter this, a different version of a pet scam (like fake pet ads), or any other kind of scam, fraud, or bad practice, tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
And if you wound up sending money to a scammer, here’s what to do next.
