Summer dog days alive at Gordy Park

The Dog Days of Summer were actually the Dog Days of Summer Saturday at the Gordy Dog Park on Sowell Road in Brewton where about 100 people brought their beloved pets for a day of fun, a good bath and to help raise money for Paws Crossed, an animal rescue group stationed in Brewton.

Gordy Dog Park was dedicated in 2017 in memory of Joe Farley Gordy, who donated the land to the city of Brewton for the construction of the park for people to bring their dogs.

Edie Kelly, director of Paws Crossed, said Saturday's event raised about $500 and the group adopted out three dogs.
