Wamego Paws of Oz Dog Park

Goal: $5,000.00

Specific Need

A new location is in the works and with your financial assistance, we will be able to provide a beautiful space for both the community and their four legged companions.  The more money we have available the greater our impact will be on opening.  Thank you for contributing to our community project!  

Mission

• To establish a fenced in, off-leash dog park where well-behaved canine citizens can exercise in a clean, safe environment with out harming or annoying people, property or wildlife.
• To build a beautiful and well-maintained space open to all dog lovers and friends who are willing to uphold to the park's rules and regulations.
• To obtain support from our community for this project as it meets the needs of dog owners and non-dog owners alike.

Profile

The Paws of OZ project started back in 2016 by a group of four Cadette Girl Scouts working on their Silver Award.  They accessed their community for needs and decided this would be how they could take action.  The girls completed surveys, toured area dog parks for ideas, gathered research on the process, material costs, etc.  The Troop choose the name and Josie Roggenkamp, a 10th grader at the time, designed our logo.  They presented their idea (including costs, possible locations, etc) to the Wamego City Commissioners in September of 2016. We were encouraged with their support and their willingness to find land for the project.

Fast forward...Since April of 2023, we are no longer with the City of Wamego.  We do have a new location in the works with great possibilities.  With your financial support, we are in a great place to get the project in the ground.   I do hope you will consider supporting this project to its completion. It will make a great addition to our growing community.
