Registration for the Paws and Pals Dog Park in Knoxville was held today. More than 40 dogs have been registered so far.

Donna Flattery, a Paws and Pals Board Member says the registration is the culmination of more than five years of effort on the part of Knoxville dog lovers to create a space for fellowship between dogs and their owners. Flattery adds that registration will continue throughout June and July. Paws and Pals hopes to have many more dogs signed up.
