PLYMOUTH, MA…
The effort to raise funds to build a dog park in Plymouth took a step forward with a benefit dog groom-a-thon held at Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac, located at 137 Samoset Street in Plymouth. The September 17 fundraiser generated more than $600 for the Friends of Plymouth Dog Park, the local non-profit behind the plan to construct a dog park in West Plymouth.
To help raise funds and awareness, Zoomin Groomin, a local pet groomer, provided a complimentary grooming for dogs. In addition, The Friends of Plymouth Dog Park had a tent and information table where visitors could make a donation or purchase Friends of Plymouth Dog Park T-shirts and other items.
“We can’t thank Tracy Chevrolet Cadillac enough for hosting this event and for Zoomin Groomin for providing the grooming services,” said Gina Delaney, one of the Friends of Plymouth Dog Park’s organizers. “The money raised from this fundraiser will go a long way towards us achieving our goal of a dog park for West Plymouth.”
Friends of Plymouth Dog Park estimates it will cost up to $250,000 to construct a dog park in West Plymouth. Federal grant money is available for this endeavor, as long as the Town comes up with 10 percent of the construction costs first. Friends of Plymouth Dog Park, an all-volunteer organization, has taken on that task to raise the 10 percent or $25,000.
“Anybody who has been to the dealership knows we are dog lovers. We’re happy to support this effort and glad that the Groom-a-Thon put this effort one step closer to becoming a reality,” said Jeff Tracy, president of Tracy Motors.
If you were unable to attend the Groom-a-Thon, Friends of Plymouth Dog Park also have a Go Fund Me page that can be accessed on their website, www.plymouthdogs.com. To date, the group has raised $3,000.
Friends of Plymouth Dog Park is an all-volunteer organization based at 45 Minuteman Lane in Plymouth. It is currently in the application process for 501(c)(3) status and has been given permission by the State of Massachusetts to solicit funds.
