Thank you to those who volunteered at Love Your Block on Saturday! We’re so lucky to have this gorgeous park for all of the neighborhood kids and pets, and it’s crucial we keep it clean. Please do your part to help RUFF & @friendsofdefilippoplayground maintain the cleanliness all year round. 🚮
The RUFF team handed out treats at the @neaaboston Little League Opening Day! We encourage neighbors to keep their dogs off the sports fields and instead come play at our two parks.
Spring cleaning time 🧼 tomorrow morning the Prince St. Dog Park will be getting cleaned so please use the Richmond St. Dog Run instead. Thank you for your flexibility!
Brush those teeth and comb those whiskers, it’s picture day! We are so excited to be hosting dog portraits in the park next month.
Show up camera-ready to the Prince St. Dog Park upper level, no RSVP needed.
Updates on the Richmond Street project will be coming next week, stay tuned 🛠️
Save the date!! RUFF is so excited to be partnering with our neighbors in The Gassy to clean up after this loooong winter. No RSVP needed! The city will provide rakes, shovels, bags, gloves, etc. so just bring your can-do attitude. More info to come in April so keep an eye out! 🌷🌷🌷
Let’s keep our pets happy and healthy! 🏥 As you’re spring cleaning, make sure your pets don’t get into any dangerous chemicals or harmful spring plants.
These are some of the most common serious household toxins for cats and dogs—other foods, plants, and chemical can cause minor irritations too. Check your vet’s safety recommendations for birds, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, and other pets!
We love the warm weather, but we don’t love all the waste that’s resurfaced from melting snow piles. 💩🗑️💩 If you’re a dog owner or walker who has left dog poop on the sidewalks and walking paths in and around the Gassy, please do your part in cleaning up the neighborhood. It’s a health hazard and disrespectful to those using the DeFilippo playground, RUFF Prince St. dog park, and surrounding area. Thank you!
