Help us build a dog park in Graham County!
Dogs parks encourage families to spend time with their pets, as well as other dogs and people. Dog parks allow people to exchange tips with other dog owners, and help each other solve problems. Dog parks provide a space for dogs to exercise, avoid boredom and destructive behaviors, and learn good manners. All of this makes dogs easier to live with, and they are less likely to be given up for adoption, or worse, abandoned. Listed below are more benefits of a dog park:
* Promotes responsible pet ownership and provides an efficient tool for educating dog owners.
* Well-exercised dogs are happy dogs, and are more likely to be quiet, good neighbors.
* Dog parks create a sense of community and forge friendships among users, as playful dogs break the ice between strangers.
* Dog parks provide senior and the disabled community members with an accessible place to exercise their pets
* Dog parks can increase property values, bring visitors to town who patronize town businesses, and attract new residents.

When is the park going to open so we can use it?
The park opened on April 18th 2015. We are still working hard to raise funds to add amenities such as shade, landscaping and obstacles.
