Dog Walkers in Chaparral

Tucked away from the rest of Dona Ana County on the eastern side of the Franklin mountains, the fact that Chaparral, NM exists at all is a testament to human determination. Homesteaders in the early 1900s found life in this dry, arid part of the world difficult -- nevertheless, Chaparral managed to grow into the proud, community-oriented town it is today. These days, Chaparral is best known as a peaceful bedroom community of El Paso -- and of course, as the hometown of former Oakland Raider’s linebacker Siddeeq Shabbazz. You won’t find any vets in town, unfortunately, but you’ll find plenty of clinics to take care good care of your buddy in nearby Santa Teresa, Anthony, and El Paso.

There’s no designated dog park in Chaparral, but you and your pooch can still sniff out some exercise options! Delores C Wright Memorial Park is a lovely spot for a leashed walk, and the town is only a stone’s throw away from some really pawesome state parks. And if your furry friend needs to run free, don’t fret -- Chaparral is less than a half hour’s drive from the big city amenities of El Paso, where you’ll find plenty of opportunities for off-leash adventures!
