City Announces New Dog Parks

City of Maricopa Press Release:

August 1st, 2023

From the City of Maricopa Communications Department:

New Dog Park Set to Open at Copper Sky

Maricopa, Arizona - The City of Maricopa is excited to announce the opening of a new dog park in an effort to provide high-quality amenities in more convenient locations for our pet owners. This plan was first presented to the community in August of 2021 outlining an effort to create smaller dog parks throughout the community for ease of access and decreased travel requirements.

The Bark at Copper Sky is located on the north end of the park just east of the lake and includes new amenities for our city's four-legged community members.

The Bark features an agility and precision course, a dog ramp, elevated steps, and several jumps. There are two water fountains located inside the park. Additionally, there are numerous shaded areas throughout with additional shade features planned in the future.

The Canine Crossing at Pacana Park opened earlier this year behind softball field #2 and will soon house similar amenities.

The existing dog park on the southwest side of Copper Sky will close on August 27.

Pet owners can anticipate more options as the City plans to open a third dog park near city hall in the future.

Arf-anage Dog Rescue

Animals Are Our Mission

Here at Arf-Anage Dog Rescue, our motto is “No Mom Left Behind”. We specialize in moms and pups from local shelters as well as the Navajo reservation. When fosters are available, we also help with puppies that are owner-surrendered, “accidental” litters, or the last of a litter that someone just “couldn’t get rid of”.

Once our Mama dogs are done raising their pups, they are given time to recover then spayed, rehabbed, and made ready for forever families.

Puppies are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. We orient them into a foster-home environment and begin potty training and socialization. We find them great forever homes and in case it doesn’t work out, we take the dogs back and find them another loving home. We offer 80% refunds on adoption fees up to 5 days after the adoption.

In some situations, we also offer assistance to help find free or reasonable spay and neuter services for owned pets.
