by Amy

Please join PAWS of Jackson Hole for the Grand Opening Celebration and Dedication.

This beautiful new park is dedicated to the life and spirit of Kristen Ardinger Karn and her beloved dog, Sophie. Kristen was an avid animal lover and built her life in Jackson Hole around them.  Not only was her business based on caring for them but she also volunteered her time at PAWS and the Animal Shelters in our community.  This dog park will be a beautiful place for people to visit and spend some time with their furry friends, one of Kristen’s favorite things to do!

See you at Sophie’s Place – 5:30 Thursday, the 26th – 250 Scott Lane in Jackson!
