2008 Outlook 
We have reached our fundraising goal for the fence and are hoping to "break ground" by the Fall of 2008.  Please don't stop support us.  We still need funds for all the other items that will make Horsham Dog Park a great place to go.  Many thanks to all contributers; past, current and future.  Please pass the word and tell a friend. 

Horsham Flea Market last Saturday, April 26, 2008 was a great success thanks to Chris, Tina, Karen, Rex, Patty, Georgia, Jaime, Pat, Monica, Evelyn and Maggie the wonder dog who did a few tricks for customers.  We raised $400 and donated the remaining goods to the Goodwill and Impact.  Also thanks to those who donated and purchased sale items.
 
Next EventHorsham Day - Saturday, June 7th, 2008

By popular demand,  the Favorite Doggie Contest is returning this year.  If you would like your dog to be in the running for the "favorite doggie", just send in a picture of your dog and a short description of why he/she is the greatest to HorshamDogPark@comcast.net or mail to P.O. Box 33, Horsham, PA 19044. Also include your contact information. First eight received will be included on the voting board.

How the contest works:  Come out to our booth at Horsham Day to view all the contestants.  Cast you vote(s) for your favorite doggies by dropping coins or bills into the bins.  The doggie with the most votes is the winner and will win a prize and be featured on our website.  All proceeds benefit Horsham Dog Park.

 
Next Monthly Meeting:  Wed. May 14th at 7:30-8:30 in the Horsham Library on Babylon Road.  Please also come out and hear about our progress.  All are welcome.     

"Buy A Brick" Campaign
We will be building a brick walkway near the entrance of the dog park (after the fence is up) with personally engraved bricks.  To purchase bricks, see column on the left for forms.  Horsham Veterinary Hospital and Pabby's Pet Pantry also have a supply of order forms.

We have the land.  Now all we need to do is raise the money for the fence. Please donate to help make this happen.  Thank you!
Your donation is tax deductible.  We are a registered 501 (c)(3) corporation.

To view this dog park as a community project, in partnership with Horsham Township, designed to satisfy the needs of dog owners and non-dog owners alike.

Guestbook:
Sign the Guest book and indicate if you would like to be a core group member.  A core group member is someone who supports our efforts to establish the park, such as helping at fundraisers.  When at the dog park tells others the etiquette of the park (rules) if you see those who do not understand.  This may seem a small job, but is essential to the longevity of a clean friendly dog park.  Thank you for considering to be involved.
Dog Park Location - Kohler Park, past the pond.

History: 
Horsham Township Council Meeting of August 9, 2006 Results: We were given 2 years to raise the funds to build a fenced area for dogs to play. The location is at the back of Kohler Park past the pond and small playground.  1 1/2 acres is allotted for our use.
 
The Horsham Parks & Recreation Survey (asking what residents would like to see in our parks) from 2002 results showed a strong interest in having a dog park in Horsham.  We made the top 10 choices - actually as #7.  Petitions have been signed by hundreds of Horsham residents wanting a dog park here.
