• Dogs must be on a hand held leash no greaterthan 6 feet at all �mes.
The desert heat can KILL YOUR DOG and youcould be charged with animal cruelty underA.R.S. 13-2910. Dogs do not sweat like us and canbe overtaken by the heat quickly. Once yourdog shows signs of heat stress, it is o�en too late.Tips to avoid a heat emergency:
Warning signs of heat stress:
What to do:
• Dog waste must be picked up immediately anddisposed of in a trash container. Do NOT leavebagged waste along the trail.
• Check the hourly weather forecast BEFOREbringing your dog to the Preserve. If it will be90°F or more during your ou�ng, leave your dogat home.
• Carry plenty of water for you and your dog.
• Heavy pan�ng,bright red tongue and thick saliva.
• Condi�on worsens if dog vomits, becomesunsteady, lethargic or unwilling to move.
• Remove the dog from the heat and cool thedog’s body with water.
• If the dog is conscious, give access to cooldrinking water.
• Get to a veterinarian immediately.
• Advanced heat stroke signs are lips/membranesbecome blue/gray, rapid on-set collapse,unconsciousness and DEATH.
The earliest evidence of humans in the vicinity of Brown’s Ranch dates to approximately 9,000 years ago. Nomadic bands of hunters and gatherers traveled through this area hun�ng deer and small game, and collec�ng seasonally available plants. A�er 1,000 AD, agriculture became more important as a source of reliable food. The Hohokam, primarily sedentary desert farmers, established large se�lements in the valleys, with hun�ng and gathering par�es visi�ng the Brown’s Ranch area seasonally. The Hohokam began to fade from the McDowellMountains in the 1300s, as they withdrew to the valleys. Yavapai and Apache bands entered the area in the 1600s, hun�ng and gathering, and occasionally raiding nearby Pima se�lements. In the late 1800s, gold was discovered in the nearby BradshawMountains, which led to a rush of prospectors, farmers, and ranchers. This increasing presence of newcomers was an unwelcome invasion for the Yavapai and Apache. Their resistance resulted in the establishment of a series of U.S. Army posts. With removal of Na�ve Americans to governmentreserva�ons, the area that would become Brown’s Ranch was now considered safe for se�lement. Brown’s Ranch was founded in 1917 by E.O. Brown, a Sco�sdale entrepreneur. At its peak the ranchencompassed 44,000 acres suppor�ng 3,000 to 5,000 head of ca�le. Descendants of E.O Brown lived onthe ranch un�l 1970. Since that �me, the ranch and surrounding lands changed hands several �mes un�l eventually acquired by the City of Sco�sdale in 1999 for inclusion in the Sco�sdale McDowell Sonoran Preserve.
