Hello,
Please help us to raise funds so we can continue our mission, which is to simply have
a safe, clean, fun environment for you and your dog to socialize. We also try to
educate the public on laws, regulations, tips, tricks and recalls regarding dogs.
We are a very small volunteer group that beautifies and maintains the dog park inside
of Wolfe's Pond Park, SI, NY. We've come a long way since being washed away from
Hurricane Sandy, over $200,000 in grants and a new design and would like nothing
more to continuously improve our park for the sole benefit of your dog.
We've raised over $5000 on our own to go back into the park, with a shed, new tables
and a memorial wall for those fur babies who have passed and spent a good quality of
their lives at the dog park.
We are in need of your help. We are in the middle of a legal battle, a nonsense one,
but one anyway. I've asked many people for help, phone calls, emails, left messages
with political figures. This of course after The New York City Parks Dpet. said to find
my own legal advisor. I've got no answers. We are on our own!!! As ridiculous as it
sounds a VOLUNTEER GROUP working for the city needs to raise their own money
for a lawsuit.
The lawsuit is a dog bite that occurred inside the dog run, which we have no control
over. Ever. We wish we could say who can come in and who can't, trust me, but we
can't
Please find it in your hearts of hearts to help us keep up our mission. We do not have
the funds to pay for this, I've already put out $1000 to start the legal process. Whether
we are found liable or not being represented costs lots of money we don't have. Please
help us raise the money needed, all money that is extra or over the amount listed will
go back into our bank account, we are a registered 501(c)3 org.
We have set up a Go Fund Me page to accept donations. You

OUR NEW SHED
Summer Fun Dog Wash A hit With the Pooches
We had a great turnout for our First Annual Summer fun Dog Wash. We like to
thank those who attended our event and those who were part of our festivities
All of you showed great support for our dogs, our dog run and our association.
Special thanks goes out to Danny Avissato and Joe Velez of Pet Oasis for their
support and generous donation. The same goes for Debbie DeLuca for
her outrageous snow cones and her generous donation too. Kudos to Doreen
Lindstrom, this was her brain child and boy it was a smashing success.
Thanks again Gus McCarthey, Donna Imparato Sayers, Carol Satler and Isabelle Stassi for your time and effort in
getting this event launched and keeping it afloat. Thanks also to our volunteer dog washers for their dauntless
efforts, without them it would have surely been a washout. Most of all, thank you for attending our dog wash and
supporting us, buying 50/50 raffles, basket chances, donating towels, items for raffle and also with your generous
donations Thank you again, we made almost $1300.00 and even after expenses we will still net about $1000.00.
We will now be able to purchase our storage shed and be closer to our goal for a shelter.
We all thank you for generous support.

WPP Dog Run Photo Update

I forgot to mention, the water source will be located in the dog run near the maintenance gate, you can see the white pvc pipe in some of the photos.

It's about time we have some good news
Major reconstruction is now back underway at Wolfe's Pond Park and our Dog Run. New perimeter fencing is now being installed and beach cleanup has begun in earnest. For those of you who don't know, we have gained 30 feet of width on the entire west side of the dog run. this gives our canine pals more room to stretch their legs.Lets hope this reconstruction is completed in a timely manner and we are back in our park again.
Below are photos of the reconstruction in progress, we will post updates as they become available.
