Buy a Great T-shirt and Support Your Dog Park

Here is a great chance for you to look spiffy and support the Five Cities Dog Park Association. We are now selling T-shirts in five different colors that show the logos for the Elm Street Dog Park in Arroyo Grande and for the Five Cities Dog Park Association for $15.

The association’s logo is on the front and a larger image on the back shows the great new sign built for the Elm Street Dog Park by Southpaw Designs of Oceano.

In order to buy a shirt, please contact Association Treasurer Maureen Sharon or call 474-8560. Shirts will be delivered to you at the Elm Street Dog Park or you can pick them up at Maureen’s home after contacting her.

Don’t delay your order. Supplies are limited.


Volunteer!

Our (and your) dog park is experiencing enormous success in terms of the number of people and pets who use it each and every day. That's a very good thing. People love the dog park and come on a regular basis. We have been successful in raising funds to purchase supplies and will be ordering one more bench. We're in good shape financially. This is terrific! However, we need your help to continue keeping and maintaining a quality community dog park. Five Cities Dog Park Association is a volunteer organization dedicated to promoting responsible pet ownership and to building more dog parks in the Five Cities area.

Here are our needs:

  1. A Maintenance Chair to coordinate Bark Ranger volunteers and sound an alert when supplies need to be ordered.
  2. People willing to become Bark Rangers or to substitute for Bark Rangers who go on vacation or become ill.
  3. People to serve actively on our board of directors.

Please give serious consideration to contributing your time and your ideas. You are encouraged to call President Maureen Sharon at 474-8560 or email msharon at charter.net for more information.


Become a Sponsor

One of the ways to support our dog park is to sponsor a bench. There is a new bench in the small dog park that does not yet have a sponsor. You can memorialize your dog's name, advertise your business or simply have your own name inscribed on a brass plaque that will be installed on the bench. Sponsorship of a bench is a donation of $1500. Please contact President Maureen Sharon at 474-8560 for additional information.
