We have created an online petition for the Sunset Park Dog Run at
 www.petitiononline.com/barkpark/petition.html
 
Please pass this link on to those you feel would support our cause - other dog owners, neighbors, friends....  I'm really not sure who can or can't sign the petition, and obviously the more signatures the better.  But I think it's important to try and get people in our neighborhood and nearby areas to sign first and foremost because these are the people who will be using, maintaining, and living near the dog run.
 
Intersted in joining us?

I am reachable at this email address: sunsetbarkpark@yahoo.com.
