Hadley's Dog Park
Hadley's Dog Park is the first and only member-only dog park in the Dubuque community. Located on Kinsey's Campus at the DRHS, the park features over an acre of green space allowing dogs to run, play and socialize and is open year-round.
Working Cats
Here at the DRHS we recognize that traditional family homes aren’t for every cat. Working cats are healthy but independent cats from local shelters available to community members looking for natural pest deterrents. Whether you run a business or maintain a barn, we can help you find the perfect working cat for your workspace.
