OnCue is in expansion mode in Oklahoma and plans to open eight new stores by the end of the year. “It has been amazing - everyone has thanked us for putting it in the Yukon area,” Colbert said. Yukon has long been lacking a dog park, so the OnCue location has proved popular for local dog owners as well as travelers, said Rick Colbert, general manager for OnCue. The response to the new dog parks has been so positive that OnCue plans to add dog areas to other travel stops wherever possible, primarily at stores off interstate highways, Palmer said. “We have operated truck stops for decades and anyone who has ever been to a truck stop has seen people race out with their dogs and run to the nearest grassy spot, so it just kind of made sense,” said Bob Palmer, CEO for OnCue. Both the Yukon and Billings dog parks feature oversized statues of dogs to attract attention from highway travelers. Stillwater-based gas station chain OnCue also has opened a dog park at its travel stop off Interstate 35 in Billings. The fenced dog park includes separate areas for large and small dogs, as well as watering troughs, shaded areas, faux fire hydrants and an agility course with ramps and other toys for dogs to climb and jump through. “Here, her tail was just going the whole time, so I could tell she was relaxed.” “We’ve stopped other places trying to find a place to walk her, and I can tell she feels rushed,” Coco McBurney said. Sadie wagged her tail and ran in circles around the fenced-in dog park, taking occasional breaks to lap up water in the August heat. The couple were driving through Oklahoma on their way to North Carolina. Can you donate in memory of a beloved fur baby? Or possibly, in memory of a loved one that deeply cared for their loyal dog friend? We will make certain that these donations are specifically given to the dog park fund.YUKON - The new dog park tucked behind the OnCue Express off Interstate 40 is a little green oasis for the gas station’s four-legged customers.Ĭoco and Chuck McBurney, of Upland, Calif., stopped Wednesday to give Sadie, their 2-year-old poodle-terrier mix, some exercise. Everyone loves it, but it takes money to maintain and improve it. Funds for the land were generously donated but now we need landscaping and other amenities. It is a completely fenced, dog-loving, carnival of fun. Our Dog park, the first in Oklahoma, consists of 3 acres of wide-open, fun romping grassland and pond. It is very expensive for us to maintain this “free” park, so all donations are gleefully accepted at our shelter.
Two times a day, late morning and late afternoon, it will be closed for a few minutes so some of our shelter dogs can play. The park is open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week. All dogs must be current on vaccinations and should be wearing their tags or owners have their tags with them. Dogs over 6 months old must be spayed or neutered. There is a double gated entry area for safety. It is totally fenced with 5 foot chain link fencing. Please turn in your waiver before your first visit to our park.
