70 dogs—and one cat!—met Santa this year at our 7th annual Santa photo event. Our Board members worked overtime to make the event a success and we are grateful to the folks at Queen’s English, who were kind enough to host us again this year. This event is our big fundraiser and we appreciate everyone who participoated and donated our small, nonprofit organization. We wouldn’t exist without all of your support.
Help Us Get Rid of the Pond
We’ll pick up debris in and around the park. We’ll also create a dry well to stop the formation of the “pond.” This event is being held in conjunction with the The Great CoHi Cleanup, a neighborhood-wide event.
Sign-up for the cleanup and designate your interest in the dog park cleanup:
