Dog Meet-Up Promises Playful Saturday Morning

AUSTIN, TX — It's time to get the "pawty" started! Pups and their human companions are invited to the "BYOD (Bring Your Own Dog) Austin Bark in Zilker Park Pawty" scheduled this weekend.

The fur will fly — in a good way — on Saturday, Sept. 21, from 10 a.m. until noon. Humans and canines alike are invited to kick off the weekend with a playful morning meet-up.

BYOD is a membership community connecting pet owners with their city's best dog-friendly deals, events and recreational activities. Attending members will receive a voucher for a BYOD Doggy Bag by email at rsvp@byodcities.com.

Visit www.byodcities.com to join, but bear in mind membership is not required to attend. For more information on the upcoming event and future BYOD events, click HERE.

MEET UP RULES

• Retractable leashes not permitted.
• All dogs must be spayed or neutered — with no exceptions.
• No pups under four months of age allowed to pawty. Sorry little fellas, but maybe next time, so snout to worry.
• Dogs must be current on vaccinations including Parvo Virus, Distemper, Rabies and Bordatella.
• No outside human food, dog food, treats, toys or chews allowed.

The park is a public space that welcomes all dog owners and pups. BYOD members are welcome to bring their furry friends to this event. But those who do must agree their dog is social, well-behaved and up-to-date on all vaccinations.
