Pooch Photos with "Real Santa Claus" Benefits Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park

Santa Claus doesn't get more real than the professional, real bearded Santa Claus that will be on hand for "SANTA PAWS," the annual pre-holiday fundraising event for Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park. 

All proceeds from "SANTA PAWS" benefit Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park, Inc. 501(3)(c) - the non-profit volunteer organization operating the Lakewood Dog Park in conjunction with the City of Lakewood. 

2012 marks the 10 year anniversary of the inception of the Lakewood Dog Park. In 2002, the City of Lakewood gave the go-ahead for the dog park, which then opened in 2003 and is now ranked among the Top 10 Dog Parks in Ohio by Dogster.com.

Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park is raising funds for major improvements at the dog park to mark the upcoming 10th anniversary and for day-to-day dog park neccessities. The dog park is owned by the City of Lakewood, but benches, shelters, tools, toys and essential 'clean up' bags are supplied by the Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park. Also, the FLDP maintains the website, Facebook page and communications with members and dog park users.

Volunteers will be conducting the "Fall Makeover" at the Lakewood Dog Park on Sunday, November 13, 2011 (rain date 11-20), 8am to 12noon. Bring coffee and a rake and join the volunteers of the FLDP to help prepare the dog park for winter. 

Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park has a goal of 1,000 "LIKES" on its Facebook home page by Nov. 5th. Please help achieve that goal. Less than 150 are needed to set the record. For more information on FLDP membership ($10/year) or other dog park information, visit www.LakewoodDogPark.org
