Major Menino celebrated yesterday the opening of the Joe Wex Dog Recreation Space, the new 14,000 square foot dog park located on Washington St. The opening was crowded with people and many gorgeous dogs. We attended the event with some other volunteers of the Animal Rescue League and we walked there with some adoptable, and recently adopted (like the maltese Pootsie), dogs from the shelter.

As you can see in the video below, all the dogs seemed to have a really great time!

The construction of this fenced-in dog park has been possible thanks to the numerous private contributions of several dog owners who live in Boston, the ARL, and even some private businesses. Dog owners and businesses also contributed by sponsoring bricks and pavers like the ones pictured below.
