Dear Dog Park Supporters,

Just a quick note to let you know that we will not be having an April meeting. We are making continual progress on our vision of creating a Dog Park in the Doylestown area and skipping our meeting this month will allow our subcommittees to make some more headway. If you would like to join a subcommittee (Publicity/Outreach, Fundraising, Site Selection and Rules), please email us back here and we’ll put you in touch with our subcommittee chairs- we would really love more help if you’d like to get involved.

We are also working on getting together with some volunteers/committees from other dogs parks in the area and picking their brains about how to be successful. We will open these meetings up to all and will let you know when they are scheduled.

Finally, we fully expect to have a May meeting and are working on bringing you some good news and updates on all of our progress. We are so grateful for your support of our winter events (Santa Paws, Paintin’ Paws, & Pups & Pizza), and we are looking forward to some fun spring and summer events

Thanks,

Friends of Doylestown Dog Park

Tired of cold, snow. slush and mud? Let’s go indoors for some pre-spring fun! This “fun”draiser offers two play sessions- 1 for small dogs and 1 for large dogs. We will provide pizza (donated by Villa Capri) and beverages for the humans to enjoy while we watch our pups play in an indoor dog park at Dog Town.

To ensure safety, we have divided play sessions into Small Dogs (under 25lbs): from 6- 7:30pm & Large Dogs (over 25lbs) from 7:45 – 9:15.

Dogs MUST be: up to date on vaccinations, non-aggressive towards humans and other dogs, on a short leash when outside the park area (and you must keep your short leash handy in case you need to remove your dog). Owners will be responsible for cleaning up after their dogs.
