“We would LOVE to be able to add a dedicated place for our residents and their furry friends, companions and service animals to safely run, play, exercise, bond and make new friends; adding to their overall quality of life. We also plan to use pavilions in this area to host training & health classes for pets and their owners and work with shelter and rescue organizations to offer adoption events.
“Plans include separate small dog and large dog play areas, double gates for safe entry, puppy hydration fountains, agility stations, shaded rest areas, benches for human friends and a dog wash.
“We ask that you please help us in spreading the word that votes for this project are needed on the PetSafe website and remind everyone to vote daily to give us a fighting chance for this addition to our parks & recreation portfolio.”
The location of the proposed park is 128 FOP Ct. in Houma, near the splash pad.
