Bark Ambassadors
Walk the walk and spread the word about responsible pet ownership.
Does your pet have what it takes to become a Bark Ambassador? Go to our "Take the Pledge" page to take the Paws for Parks pledge, tell us about your pet and send us a picture. Or email us at pawsforparksto@gmail.com. Below are our original Bark Ambassadors - we are now at well over 100 who you can meet on our Instagram @pawsforparks or Facebook @paws4parks
Tulip
Our foster dog Tulip was a bark ambassador before we even had official ambassadors! Tulip had a hankering for squirrels and so was always kept on leash outside of off-leash areas.
Poppy
Sweet Poppy is our first official Bark Ambassador. Her person agrees that it is important to protect High Park nature and always leashes Poppy where required by law.
Elon
We are so lucky that Elon comes to the Bark Ambassador program with experience being a National Parks Bark Ranger. Thanks for leading by example Elon!
Joy and Lola
Joy and Lola's guardian Mark knows how special High Park's black oak savannah is and that not all of our community feels comfortable around dogs.
Benny
Benny likes to hang out on Dog Hill with his buddies. Outside of the off-leash area, he leads by example and stays leashed for the comfort of al other park users.
