I've noticed that the dog park has a sign with a Facebook page on it but I always forget to check in, I'm not a huge Facebook user. The park provides water bowls, a huge lost and found bin, tables and seating, a shelter with a bench in it, two areas for dogs to run (more on this later), and poop bags with a huge trash can. I've noticed that there are a few regulars, which make it really nice. Feels like a community. There have been a few times that I've come to the dog park and had to leave because of an aggressive dog, but that's part of the risk of going to a dog park, in my opinion. Plus, there are two separate fenced-in areas -- one for normal playtime, and one for "small, frail, or scared" dogs. They share a fence, which means the two areas of dogs can interact through the fence and run along it together, which is a great idea for people who want to try a dog park but are afraid of any mishaps. Outside the dog park, there's a lovely paved trail that leads around baseball diamonds. It's great to walk on and most all of the park has big lights to stay bright even when the sun sets early. I've even seen people use this park as a sweet sledding hill. There's a playground set on the grounds, as well as a nice small paved pergola. I ask people all the time if they've gone to Dakota Park with their dog and definitely recommend going. See you there!

We adopted our amazing dog, Max, from PPR back in October of 2014. He was a rescue from the Playa…read moreDel Carmen area of Mexico. This was our first time working with a rescue, so the whole process was new to us. We filled out a lengthy application online, but didn't mind as you could tell they were truly vetting the homes that the animals were going to. At that time, we noted that we were interested specifically in Max. The following weekend they had a meet and greet event at a Minneapolis pet store, so our family went there to meet him and his current Foster Mom. They both turned out to be wonderful! The next step was to have volunteers come out to our home to make sure we were providing what we promised (single family home/fenced yard, safe and clean place for him to grow and thrive). At that meeting, they went over the specifics of his adoption, including their requirement of a first right of refusal (if he didn't work out, we would reach back out to them before placing him in another home). We also agreed that we would never use a shock collar on him. Shortly thereafter, we connected with the Foster Mom via email to discuss a time to pick him up, what he was currently eating and how much, and what items he would be sent "home" with. I picked him up along with his vet documents from Mexico and also after he arrived in the U.S. Max continues to be an amazing dog. He does have some medical issues, but those weren't diagnosed until a while after we brought him home, and I don't know how the rescue could have known. I chalk the issues up to a likely combination of genetics, and possibly poor diet and traumatic events before he was rescued. We absolutely couldn't be happier with our adoption. I highly recommend this organization, and also love all the other programs they offer as well.

The PPR people were helpful and the adoption process went smoothly even though it was hella packed that day at Urbanimal. I do think it would be better if the foster parents came to the adoption events. I didn't want to wait to adopt my kitty, so I didn't get a chance to speak with her caretakers. It would have been helpful to know that she is not as social as she first seemed, and that she has a noisiness problem.

The process went well and was ethical (home visit and interview required to ensure you were a good owner). We have pointed a number of friends their way, and they have had positive experiences as well. We are obsessed with our 8 year old coonhound, and are so grateful we worked with this rescue.

We filled out their application with their fee. Every thing was going great, we pass all of their regulations all the way to the home visit. At this point we are exited to get our congratulations letter letting us finish our rescue. Instead we get a rejection letter because our dog is not fixed. He is our hunting dog and we have been talking with his breeder about the possibility of studding him because he has great health and natural hunting abilities. Naturally, we where devastated at the news and emailed them asking why we where lead to believe every thing was good until they weren't. Their response was sorry we over looked your application. I suggest looking else where because this company isn't what they say they are!! Their fix policy is a joke, I guess we will just go with a breeder.

They assured and emailed me daily with support. They even came back and retaught me the skills for training my dog. Their guarantee and warranty was what helped me make the decision to buy and go with their team. They arrived on time and after installing they had me down load the app which was invaluable.

We did some research, and although there's companies out there that all sound like they do the same thing, I can tell you, they don't. From the moment I spoke to the Hidden Fence Of people I knew that they were customer service oriented. They came out the very next day and dropped some line around the perimeter of the house, even though there was 2 feet of snow. And they will be back to bury it come spring time. The gentleman that came out and spent about an hour working with me on training. It was very easy, and within about a month my dog was off leash and not venturing out of the yard anymore. One of the concerns I had going in was that would the collar be painful for my dog. So I tried it out on my self and it is basically nothing more than a vibration and not a painful shock which I think other companies use. As my dog approaches the perimeter, there is a beeping sound and vibration, and right away he knew that he has gone too far. Now after a solid month, it is so apparent that he knows the boundary, So happy to have made this choice.
