Back to Stool

Back to Stool - Sunday September 27th at 10 a.m.

Join us at The Barkyard, Sunday, September 27th at 10 a.m. for our “Back to Stool” Fall cleanup. We will be performing general grounds maintenance (picking up poop, removing litter, etc.), as well as tending to the trees. If you can, please bring some of the following supplies: shovels, trash bags, mallets for stake hammering, etc.

As in the past, your kindness will be rewarded with sloppy kisses, wet noses, and maybe even some coffee and donuts!

If you have questions, or would like to learn about other ways to help The Barkyard, send an e-mail to volunteer@thebarkyard.org.

April Stools Day

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

The Barkyard hasn’t learned to clean up after itself and it could use a bath (so to speak). We’re looking for some friendly, energetic and not-so-easily-offended volunteers to help with a little spring cleaning.

Join us at The Barkyard at LaSalle Park, bring some plastic bags, your scooper or shovel, and help us maintain a safe and enjoyable place for dogs and humans alike.

Your kindness will be rewarded with sloppy kisses, wet noses, and maybe even some coffee and donuts!
