Hey all! We have some disappointing news to share... we unfortunately did not win the Pet Safe Dog Park Contest. They haven’t released any details, except that New Martinsville, WV was the winner. We want to thank everyone again for voting and your support. Fear not fellow dog lovers, this is just the beginning of our dog park journey. We are already exploring other grants and funding options. As God as my witness, Columbia is getting a dog park 😊 Stay tuned!
