Natalie PetSafe 05/10/2013 Hi Tyler, thanks for participating in Bark For Your Park. While reviewing your documents, we noticed you uploaded an aerial photo under land verification. We need more firm communication about the home of your future park should your town win the contest. We also noticed you uploaded a flyer under civic support. We need a letter from your civic leaders saying they will commit to build and maintain the park should you win. If you have any questions, please email dogpark@petsafe.net. Good luck!
Suzy Sheridan 05/08/2013 I must say as many people in Tyler that own dogs I am quite surprised there hs been more votes. What is going on??
Suzy Sheridan 05/02/2013 This is Mocha who was rescued by The East Texas SPCA in Feb. 2011 and adopted by me in June 2011. She has lots of brother's and sisters to play with and a big back yard to run around in, but what she really need is a park with walking trails and new friends to play with. Please help her and her siblings by voting for our city to get a Dog Park. Thanks!!
