Sanctuary Regulations

Welcome to Ott's Off-Leash Dog Sanctuary! For the safety and enjoyment of all our furry friends and their families, please review and follow these important regulations during your visit.

Neutering/Spaying

Neutering and spaying are important. It prevents unwanted litters and reduce the number of animals that end up in shelters or euthanized. These procedures also lower the risk of certain health problems, such as uterine infections and breast tumors in females, and testicular cancer and some prostate issues in males. In many cases, they can also reduce behaviors like roaming, marking, and aggression.
