COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) – Paws Humane Society has launched The Yard, a membership-based social club and gathering space for dogs and their owners in Columbus.
This park comes where a former dog park once was – Fetch – off 6th Avenue in Columbus.
The organization said it identified a growing need for a safe, accessible dog park in the area.
Founding membership rate available before launch
To mark its official launch on Feb. 27, The Yard is offering a limited-time founding rate for Original Pack Members. Through Feb. 26, owners with an approved dog may purchase an annual membership for $350, with that rate locked in for two years. Memberships officially begin on launch day.
Membership options and entry requirements
The Yard offers annual and monthly membership options, as well as day passes for occasional visitors. All dogs must be registered through BarkMembership with up-to-date vaccine records prior to entry.

- Key fob access daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
