KDOG’s H204K9 bottle/sling sets will be available at our booth at Bark for Life, Sunday May 5th.  We have these bottles and slings in pink, blue, and green.  This product makes it easy to safely hydrate your dog(s), and keeps plastic out of the trash cans at the park.  We do not have recycling at Jasper’s Dog Park, so help the planet and use this great option.  All proceeds go to park maintenance for Jasper’s Dog Park.

UPDATE:  Bottle/sling sets will be available at Jasper’s Dog Park on Saturday, June 1st.  Visit the KDOG table between 11 am  and 3 pm.

Becoming a park steward is a great way to volunteer while visiting the park with your dog.  No other time commitment is necessary.  KDOG has an agreement with the City of Kirkland, noting that we will provide park volunteers to assist with education and maintenance.  Here’s a link to the City’s ongoing volunteer application.  Just let them know you’re ready to get started as a volunteer.  Your dog will thank you for helping, as this off-leash area is possible because of volunteers.  Help us make sure off-leash opportunities continue in Kirkland.

Come meet our Park Steward Chairs, Ann and Megen on March 2nd at Jasper’s Dog Park.  They’ll be at our free Park Safety Workshop (a great workshop for those interested in volunteering at the park).

Would you like to honor a loved one (pet or person) or their memory with a park bench donation for Jasper’s Dog Park?  A park bench donation is an opportunity to enhance our dog park, making it more enjoyable to visit for all.  Installation, maintenance, repairs, and plaque are provided by the CIty of Kirkland.   A single bronze plaque, measuring 2″ in height by 7″ in length, will be personalized per the donor’s request, with up to five lines of text.  With this bench donation you will also receive a personalized plaque installed on the park sponsor donation board and you will be listed as a Dog Park Sponsor on KDOG’s website.  This donation is tax-deductible, but it must be a new donation.  The bench will be installed in the main off-leash area.

Please contact KDOG at kdog@kdog.org if you are interested in becoming a park bench donor.  The price for this bench is $1600.

Happy New Year! KDOG is looking forward to another great year with more off-leash adventures and fun for you and your pup.  We ended 2012 with our grand opening of the new path way at Jasper’s Dog Park on December 8th; made possible by a generous donation from our “Platinum Paw” sponsor Weidner Apartment Homes and the support of KDOG volunteers and the City of Kirkland.  It’s going to be another great and exciting year. We hope to see you out at the park and at upcoming meetings, work parties and fundraisers. A very big and heartfelt thank you goes out to the countless volunteers, sponsors and donations that made 2012 a great success and a lot of fun.

If you’re eager to help KDOG start the year off strong then please consider becoming a Personal Dog Park Sponsor. Your financial support will help provide wood chip to keep the ground dry at the park, making the park usable all winter and spring, and  will help with other park improvements.

At the November 5th Wine Tasting at Northwest Cellars, the canine crowd was treated to their very own table of gourmet goodies thanks to The Dining Dog, and KDOG Volunteers (Tracy Doering and Debbie Wiltbank).  Not a single crumb remained at that special table at the end of our successful fundraiser.  The Dining Dog in Edmonds is a full service cafe for dogs, where meals include Doggie Cocktails,  Appetizers, Entrees, and Desserts.  The owner of The Dining Dog has donated treats and raffle items over the years to help KDOG raise money for Jasper’s Dog Park, along with use of the cafe at our popular dog park fundraiser, Barksgiving.  We very much appreciate all of the support from Dorothy Moore, the owner of The Dining Dog.  You can learn more about how you can treat your dog to a special meal or celebration at this link, http://diningdog.com/contact.htm.  The Cafe is open on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturday, by reservation only.
