JAWITP DOG of the MONTH:
BAYLEE
The Dog of the Month for May is Baylee, a seven month old Pit Bull/Boxer mix. Her owner, Ashley S., saved Baylee from imminent death when she adopted the puppy in January. Baylee had been beaten and treated quite badly in her past, but her loving and playful nature could not be quelled. Ashley spotted the brindle pup because she was so sweet-natured and energetic, even in a cage. Ashley started Baylee in obedience training right away, and she has already graduated from her initial training.
Baylee loves riding in the car and (get this) playing in the bathtub. With her brindle coat, Baylee looks like a tiger, and the similarity is more than that: Baylee has to "kill" her treats before she eats them, and she pounces, tiger-like, on her toys and her doggy friends at the park. Baylee even hides bones all around her house. Her favorite toy was a moose, until she destroyed it; now she favors a stuffed car that she chews on and even sleeps with. Seeing this happy, energetic dog at the park, it is hard to imagine anyone being cruel to her. Ashley may have saved this dog's life by adopting her, but it seems Baylee gives back even more than she received.
If you have a photo of your dog, please feel free to send it to JAWITP, and we'll be happy to feature your pet as Dog of the Month. Hopefully we'll receive enough shots to rotate frequently. When you submit a photo, please give me a little biography of your dog.

Welcome to the JAWITP website, designed to provide information for visitors to the off-leash dog park located within The Liane Levetan Center at Brook Run in the Dunwoody section of Atlanta, Georgia. JAWITP began as a small group of dog lovers who convinced the county to create this off-leash park. The park was officially opened on January 14, 2006. We are a now group of almost 200 volunteers who love dogs and, therefore, support and maintain our off-leash park. There are no dues and no meetings unless absolutely necessary. To join the group, simply click on the address shown at the bottom of each page of this website.
PLEASE BRING WATER WITH YOU!
We have a community water bucket, but if visitors fail to bring water, dogs will be the ones to suffer. JAWITP volunteers make sure the buckets are cleaned and swapped out regularly. (And please dispose of your empty water jugs in the large trash can provided.)
Let us know:
· Problems with irresponsible dog owners
· Problems with irresponsible parents of small children
· Questions about rumors regarding the dog park, park security, maintenance
Because JAWITP has formally adopted this dog park, we now have access to numerous authorities within the Parks Dept., as well as the local police precinct.
This is our park. Be a part of JAWITP and let’s keep our park the excellent resource it is.
