Pups in the Pines wrapped up another fantastic Adventure Payson Month! The park was full of smiling faces, wagging tails, and community spirit. We’re grateful to our Payson Parks and Rec team and the many local partners whose hard work helps make events like this possible. These opportunities bring our community together, create lasting memories, and showcase what makes Payson such a special place to call home.

Don’t forget to keep your pets safe and comfortable during the upcoming holidays!

It is hard to believe that we are exactly 1 month away from celebrating 4th of July on the USA's 250th Birthday!

It is not too early to start thinking about a plan for your furry friend(s). 🐕🐩

July 5th is notoriously THE busiest day of the year for animal shelters. Dogs frequently panic from fireworks, bolt, and get lost over the holiday weekend. Even if your pup has not had an issue in the past, you just never know. Please err on the side of caution, have a plan for your pet, and follow these simple guidelines.

We look forward to an amazing event, but the safety of all attendees (even the furry ones) is our top priority.
