BRECKSVILLE, Ohio — Cuyahoga Valley National Park is recruiting volunteers and their dogs to serve in a new volunteer group, Paw Patrol. Volunteers will patrol in pairs with their dogs to serve as ambassadors on the trails, sharing park information and answering questions.
CVNP is one of the few national parks that allow dogs and Paw Patrol is one of the first dog volunteer programs offered in the National Park System.
