Support your (only) local dog park

The Canton Dog Park will hold its sixth annual summer fund-raiser Saturday, June 7, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (with a rain date of Sunday, June 8).

The event will be held at the park, at the corner of Clinton and Toone streets, and will feature raffles, a silent auction and food provided by Austin Grill, profits from which also go to the park.

Sponsors of the event include 2910 on the Square, Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelter (BARCS), Bin 604, Daily Grind, DocSide Veterinary Medical Center, Doghouse Girls, Eastern Animal Hospital, JD’s Smokehouse, Mama’s on the Half Shell, Maryland SPCA, Nacho Mama’s, Partnership Wealth Management LLC, Savannah Parke, Southern Galvanizing Company, and Vircity2.

Canton Dog Park -- the only place in the city of Baltimore where dogs can legally run off leash -- is operated by the Canton Community Association (CCA), a nonprofit organization. Donations are tax deductible.

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
