There's a place in Vero Beach that literally is for the dogs. Since I adopted my new puppy, Paco, it's a place that has become our new favorite place whenever I have a free afternoon. Dog parks were something I avoided with my Jack Russell terrier, Rocky. He didn't like other dogs, and wasn't one to play nice with them. We lost Rocky, 13, in July, which was devastating to our family. In February, we adopted 8-month-old Chihuahua mix Paco from the Humane Society of Vero Beach/Indian River County.
