Book nowHey. My name is Shelbie. I am 27 year old female. I have two cats. I am a manager of Walmart. I work an average of 60 hours a week so I do not have time to raise a dog on my own. I am signing up for this app to share my love for walking and dogs with you guys! I love animals and would love my own dog but this is as close as it gets. Feel free to ask any other questions. Hopefully I get to meet your fur ball soon.

Book now“Animal Behavior Bachelor of Science”
I recently graduated from IU with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Behavior and a minor in Biology. I have four guinea pigs and a horse and I enjoyed working at a dog daycare where I cared for up to 70 dogs per day. This has given me so much experience in understanding dog behaviors and being able to meet dogs of different sizes and personalities.

Although the park is not big -- only 1 acre -- it has two separate areas for small and large doggies that have plenty of agility equipment to entertain pooches, such as tunnels and fire hydrants. In both of the areas, there are picnic tables for the doggie owners, water fountains with drinking water, and poop baggie dispensers for cleaning up after your pooch.

Herrin Park Dog Park is located in Park Drive, around 15 miles away from Carbondale. This park is a pretty large one and it's completely fenced with special sections for bigger and smaller pooches. There are three fire hydrants for dogs to mark and a lot of shade to shelter you and your fur-baby from the sun. You should bring water with you since it's not provided here. The place provides waste baggies and trash cans in both areas so you can contribute to keeping the park clean. You can bring a maximum of two dogs per person.
