 Buy a Brick

Engraved bricks for our dog park!
 
 Headed up by Brian Doyle, our President. 

Some of you may not know this, but the dog park is not finished. Our goal is to be able to fence in the area C and D.  Our engraved brick program will reduce the cost to the city for development of areas C and D. We are hoping to sell enough bricks to fully fund the construction of area C and D as well as other amenities of the dog park.

Is there a better gift, than a brick with your dog's name on it??

 


    Developing area C and D is an important feature of keeping our park successful  because these additional fenced areas will be used to rest the turf of the large dog park and they would also be places to have supplemental events.
Your engraved brick can honor a loved one or a beloved pet, commemorate, a birthday,an anniversary, make a statement with a quote... etc. It will be a part of the dog park forever!  Talk about a gift that stands the test of time!

Our friends at Noah's Ark are helping us with the fundraiser, and your Brick Donations are tax deductible. Please make your check payable to Noah's Ark (a 501(c) 3 animal sanctuary).

 You can click on the link below to go right to the brick order form....bricks come in 2 sizes and can have symbols engraved as well as letters Prices start at $50.00.

 

  The City of Pompano Beach is offering 3 dog obedience classes on Tuesday nights....All taught on the Amphitheater Stage!

Puppy Kindergarten
Beginner Obedience
Canine Good Citizen

Please check the DOG TRAINING CLASSES page for more information!

The number one reason that dogs are surrendered to shelters is because of behavior issues that could have been prevented with obedience training.  Please don't let your dog or one that you know become a statistic!
