Dog Owners of Hudson: Mark Your Calendars

Last year, Americans spent $147 billion on their pets. For many dog owners, some of that money went for gear that didn't work out as intended--expensive harnesses that didn't fit or work as hoped, stairs and ramps dogs refused to use, beds they didn't like, toys they weren't interested in, crates they outgrew or you decided not to use, sweaters, coats, boots, and Halloween costumes they wouldn't wear. If your house is cluttered with such gear, an opportunity to unload it and benefit a good cause at the same time is coming up.

On Saturday, October 26, in celebration of its fifth anniversary, the Hudson Dog Park is holding a Flea Market. (Needless to say, there will be no actual fleas involved.) People who have dog gear, in good condition, that their pups have outgrown or rejected can bring it to the dog park. The items will be sold for significantly less than they originally cost, and the proceeds will go to the maintenance and improvement of the dog park.  

If you need dog gear, come to the Hudson Dog Park on October 26 to see what's on offer. You might snag a plush, fluffy, never used bed like this one for a fraction of what it originally cost.

The Flea Market will open at noon and run until 4:00 p.m. Items to be donated for sale at the Flea Market can be delivered to the dog park beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 26. 

The Hudson Dog Park, which opened its gates on October 26, 2019, is located on North Second Street, just beyond the intersection with Dock Street and Mill Street.
