Why a dog park?
Dog parks make dogs happy. Watching the sheer joy of the dogs in an off-leash dog park is good for the human soul, too. Parks provide a safe place to run.
Dogs love their owners, but they need social interaction with other dogs and people. Dog parks provide excellent opportunities for socialization and training. Dog parks are a great place to meet other dog-loving people and learn more about your dog and dog behaviors.
The physical and mental stimulation dogs get from the interactions and exercise helps reduce annoying and even destructive behaviors at home. Exercise is important to having a healthy dog.
Cost and Donations
The basic cost of the park is the fencing, signage, and concrete. We would like to have the park open as soon as possible so everybody can enjoy it with their furry friends. However, we can’t start until we raise the money for the exterior fencing, which is $23000 along. This is a project that is completely dependent on donations to succeed.
The brick pavers will be used for the entrance of the park. They will be displayed so all who enter will see them. The pavers can be use to memorialize, honor, and remember a loved one.
Donations may also be taken or sent to Independence City Hall.
