contributed by: Tina Valant-Siebelts, Board Member Dog Beach of Hollywood continues to draw visitors to enjoy Hollywood's sparkling paw-printed amenity. As a community partner, we are committed to improving the beach for everyone; spanning year round residents, out of state visitors and canine companions. Since there is strength in numbers, we joined forces with The North Beach Association, The Hollywood Lakes Section Civic Association, Team Hollywood Lakes and the police department. We are distributing palm cards advising people to increase their safety and enjoyment of DBOH! Here are some highlights: Litter, NOT! There seems to be an increase in trash, not only at Pershing and Custer Streets, but North Beach, in general. To remedy this situation, DBOH funded, donated, and installed additional trash cans. Regular day-long beach clean ups are held. Volunteers enjoy socializing over refreshments after each shifts. Ten blocks are brought to pristine condition. “Our heartfelt thanks to all those active in helping us with clean up and crime prevention campaigns; especially Terry Cantrell, Howard Schoem and Brian Daigle”, states Helena Rozo-Drori, DBOH president. Don't be a victim Ready, Set, Go! Fridays ~ Sundays. The dog friendly beach is located between Pershing and Custer Streets (north of Sheridan Street, off AIA). Currently, the entrance is at Pershing Street, however, this may change to accommodate sea turtle nests. DBOH’s daily fee for (for one or two dogs) is $10 / nonresidents; and $5 / Hollywood residents (must show proof – driver’s license). Keep your dog on a standard six foot lead (NOT a retractable or flexilead), until you have checked in with the ranger, on the beach. Then, unclip your dog’s lead. Stay away from the dunes and avoid turtle nests. Avoid feeding/treating your dog at the beach, as it can cause fights. When it is time to leave, clip his collar to the lead, rinse dog with fresh water, and proceed back to your vehicle (on leash). Cocoa Mulch Contains an Ingredient Harmful to Pets-Truth!
