🐾 WE’RE BACK UP AND RUNNING! 💦🎉

It’s been 12+ long days without power, but our pond is finally back up and running!

A HUGE thank you to our amazing volunteers who stepped up every single day to fill and empty the pond to keep it clean, fresh, and safe for our dogs to enjoy. 💙🐶

We truly couldn’t have done it without you! 🫶

Thank you, volunteers! You’re the best! 🐾💦

A Big Thank You to the Thompson Foundation!

We are incredibly grateful to The Thompson Foundation for their generous grant, which made some of our recent dog park improvements possible.

The improvements have already created quite a buzz among our park visitors, and we have received so much positive feedback and praise. It is wonderful to see the excitement from the people and, of course, the dogs who enjoy our park every day.

We are proud of the difference these improvements have made and truly appreciate The Thompson Foundation for supporting our dog park and our community.

Thank you, Thompson Foundation, for helping us make a difference, one happy dog at a time!
