Our Best Friends

The majority of visitors to The Devisdale are dog owners or dog walkers. We have dogs of every shape and size, some working dogs, but mostly pets.

Many of The Friends and committee members are dedicated dog lovers and our pooches are regular visitors to events and committee meetings.

Committee member Liz Killick, proud owner of Willow is one of the founding members of The Altrincham District Dog Training Society. Liz still works with ADDTS as a trainer and every year the Friends host the ADDTS Annual Dogs' Day out on Denzell Gardens.

For the most part, the majority of owners are extremely responsible. However, we are still having problems with people not picking up after their dogs or who bring aggressive and unruly dogs to The Devisdale which often results in innocent dogs being injured leaving their owners with large vet bills to pay.

There was a big improvement following the campaign but unfortunately, during the winter months, standards have lapsed.

Dog fouling is a serious problem and can cause a variety of illnesses and diseases. Please make sure your dog is wormed regularly - at least every 3 months.

Please also help us to continue with the campaign and if you notice someone not picking up after their dogs, offer them a bag.
