Dear fellow dog lovers,

We wanted to make sure you knew about an exciting proposal that has been proposed County Councilmember Arlyn Bradshaw. You can read about Paws on Patios in the Salt Lake Tribune at: http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/53616482-78/dog-dogs-lake-salt.html.csp.  There will be a request from the Health Department for public comment soon.  We will let you know when it is time to send your positive comments. 

We are excited at the prospect of being able to walk to our favorite cafe or coffeehouse with our furry family members for some fresh air dining.  Millcreek FIDOS encourges all of you to send a thank you to Councilmember Bradshaw at ARBradshaw@slco.org for working hard to give us this opportunity. 

Thanks so much.

Dear FIDOS,

It is tax time and this year we all have an excellent opportunity to help the dogs that serve. You all should remember the Midvale police dog that was killed in the line of duty a while back. This tragedy prompted a move to provide canine body armor for every police dog in the state.

You can easily do your part. When you are filling out your Utah State Tax Form, watch for the “Contributions” section, line 28. In considering your contributions, we encourage each of you to mark a few dollars donation to Code 11, Canine Body Armor. While you are there, don’t forget Code 9, Dog & Cat Community Spay & Neuter Program.

Thanks so much.

Hello FIDOS!

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and are enjoying this winter. If you are a Parleys/Tanner/gully walker, we just wanted to remind you that the hill going down is in its treacherous icy state and is not very safe without extra traction on your shoes. Also, the park is starting to look very dirty as layers of snow are melting to reveal doggie deposits that had been missed. We know some is still frozen into the glacier but if everyone will do a little extra cleaning up, the park could be clean in no time. We also have a new bag container near the off leash sign at the top of the hill so please bring your plastic grocery bags to help stock it.

As always, please clean up wherever you walk and remind others to do their part. The ski trail in Millcreek Canyon could also use some work.

Enjoy your walks and if any new FIDOS news comes down the pipe you will be the first to hear.

Sincerely,
Fidos Foundation

The FIDOS Holiday Party is just a few days away!  We hope you will join us for holiday treats, one of the season’s best silent auctions and live music.  It’s only 20$ at the door, 15$ with a bottle of wine or treat to share.  It’s a wonderful evening celebrating and supporting FIDOS and all of our volunteers.

Dear FIDOS,


If you live in Salt Lake City, elections for Salt Lake City Council and Mayor are coming up fast. We strongly encourage you to get out and vote for the candidates of your choice.

There are many things to carefully consider as you make the important decision of who will get your vote. One of these may be the candidate’s stand on providing “off leash” space for dog owners. FIDOS has held its annual Candidate Forum.  Candidates in attendance were mayoral candidate Ralph Becker, council district #2 candidates Kyle LaMalfa and Van Turner, council district #4 candidate Luke Garrott, and council district #6 candidates Charlie Luke and JT Martin.

Based on comments made at the FIDOS candidate forum and past voting records of the incumbents, FIDOS is endorsing the following candidates:

• SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT #2 – KYLE LAMALFA
• SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT #4 – LUKE GARROTT
• SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICT #6 – CHARLIE LUKE

Again, please remember to vote. We hope that the FIDOS endorsements will help guide you in your decision.
