JACKSON, Wyo. — PAWS of Jackson Hole threw a closing day soiree at the dog park, yesterday April 28. The celebration marked the end of the winter dog park season, with pups and their humans enjoying the beautiful weather on the final day of access to the dog park located at the Teton County Fairgrounds.

“Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate a remarkable Winter Dog Park season. This short seasoned park not only serves the 11,000 dog residents of Jackson, but it is also a safe and social outlet for many people to enjoy with their dogs and fellow community members,” said Jess Farr, PAWS of Jackson Hole Program Director.

The dogs played together, some in costume.
