Pet-rification takes root on 114th Street as small dogs and big dogs alike will soon be able to enjoy new, permanent fencing at the Street Morningside Park dog run. Black fencing that compliments the park's wrought iron railings and accents replaces the pervious chain link construction. The new fencing looks much better that it's grey predecessor.

The J.M. Kaplan Fund made the new fencing possible with a $10,000 grant. In addition to the new fencing, the NYC Parks Department will re-grade the run twice a year and supply wood chips.

Watch the Morningside BARC site for the date and time of the run's upcoming re-opening celebration.

And, for those dogs who wish to look their best as they strut back into the run, Posh Paws is having a sale on all dog clothing.
