News & EventsPooch Park Application ONLINE Here + FAQThe Pooch Park application is finally here! Apply online at http://whitmanpets.org/poochparkapplication The most critical pieces of information you need are the date of your dog(s)' rabies vaccination and/or titer and the (approximate) date of your dog(s)' spay/neuter. Please be considerate - dogs over 14 months MUST be spayed or neutered to use the park. If you use Paypal to pay online, you will receive a code for temporary access to the dog park until your access card can be mailed. At this time, access cards cannot be picked up in person, and you may experience a 1-2 week lag in receiving your card. You may also mail in your payment to WCHS, PO Box 453, Pullman, WA 99163. Please remember there is a first-time $5 card fee when you become a member. Therefore, an annual membership is currently $65 ($60+5), and a trimester membership is $30 ($25+5). You may experience a 1-2 week lag in receiving your card if you pay by mail. If you wish to mail in your application, waiver, AND payment, here are PDFs of both the application and waiver. Application Waiver Please print a copy of the application and waiver for your records. If you have any questions about the application process, please e-mail webmaster@whitmanpets.org. Here are some of the frequently asked questions and answers about the dog park: Why all the rules? Please note that the rules are in place to protect you and your dog(s). WCHS is not liable for incidents that occur if/when you use the park. Where/when/how can I apply to become a member? Our application and waiver are available online. We prefer Paypal as a payment method. If you have questions about the application, please e-mail webmaster@whitmanpets.org. We will accept applications and waivers by mail. Please be aware that there may be a delay of 1-2weeks for applications taken by mail. Applications, waivers, and payment will be taken in person at a later date. How do I get to the park? Please feel free to park up at the AnimalHaven pet shelter. Walk PAST the dumpster, a shed, and the cat building. PLEASE USE CAUTION near the cat building, which is a high-traffic area for not only dogs and people but sometimes cats and other domestic pets. Enter the first gate, keep your dog's leash on, and proceed down the gravel path to the tri-gate.  What if I have more than two dogs? At this time, the Pooch Park Committee requests that you submit separate applications for a 3rd and 4th dog, etc. One reason is because an individual is only permitted to bring two dogs to the park at a time. Another reason is the more dogs that use the park, the more wear and tear it will experience. What if I have concerns about the park? If you have any concerns/questions/compliments/complaints at all about the park, please e-mail poochpark@whitmanpets.org with your concerns. We would appreciate having these in writing so that they can be referred to our committee. If you have major concerns about the behavior and/or actions of a person or a dog, please consider contacting non-emergency police dispatch at (509) 332-2521 or emergency 911. Thank you!
