On Saturday, August 2, from 9am to 12 noon, MayDOG is cleaning up the new dog park in preparation for opening!
Are you available for any part of that time? We need help pruning, raking, weeding and otherwise making the grounds safe for our four-legged friends. Even just 30 or 60 minutes will go a long way. Please email [email protected] if you can help out, and we'll make sure we have enough coffee on hand! Bring your pruning shears/loppers, work gloves, rake & shovel, if you can. We will have a few on site, so don’t let not having these items keep you away. Will you join us? ![]() Hey MayDOGGERS, Please be patient, as many of you have seen and commented on, the physical layout and design of the Dog Park is 99% complete. We are currently working with the Town of Maynard to get the proper licensing agreement in place so that we can open the park. We will be posting status updates on our FaceBook page, so if you have not "liked" us yet, please visit and like us "Image courtesy of Keattikorn / FreeDigitalPhotos.net". A reminder from the Maynard Animal Control Officer:
Maynard residents need to license their dogs by Feb 28, per our new bylaw. No more than 3 dogs per house; otherwise you MUST obtain a kennel license. Maynard Animal Control ![]() Although we were hoping for a 2013 opening, we are now anticipating a Spring 2014 ribbon cutting for the O.L.R.A. (Off Leash Recreation Area). There are still several milestones that we have yet to achieve, and due to time constraints these will not be accomplished in the next few months. The main issues that still remains in the cutting over of the Solar Farm to the utility grid as well as finalizing legal documents with the town. This being said, now is a good time to remind everyone that MayDOG is an all volunteer organization and that we rely solely on memberships and donations in order to open and maintain the Dog Park. In Maynard alone we have over 700 licensed dog owners, yet we have less then 50 household MayDOG members. Please consider becoming a member to help us open in Spring! Feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you have any specific questions or concerns. |
