Help support your community by letting our city officials know that we care about this small town and our four legged friends. A community dog park would benefit not only dog owners but non-owners as well. By giving our dogs a safe, off leash place to exercise and socialize, it will lead to more well behaved dogs. And who doesn't want that? With everything negative happening in our town we are in desperate need for a positive. I know it's seems that there are more important issues that should be addressed and I agree, but this is one small step for a better community. And something I think many of us can stand behind.
As an animal lover, dog trainer, service dog handler, and dog mom I would back this project more seriously if the following was addressed. 1. A purposed location, 2. A reasonable budget for said park, 3. Vaccine and health restrictions for the park. Parvovirus and Caine flu transmission is outrageously high in the area and it's because dogs aren't properly vaccinated. There's also the issue of proper socialization of dogs and maintenance to the park. It's a great idea I just think you have a while to go before going to petition.
