      "We have a great dog park in the middle of town. People are very friendly and have their dogs fenced. I have witnessed most dog owners have their dogs on leashes. There are various dog stations, like poop bags, downtown. The stores will put out a water bowl for the dogs. There’s a lot of things to do with your dog. They have a festival just for dogs in the spring. You can take your dog trick or treating and dress them up. I love living here with my family and three dogs. "
