BDOG Dissolving
As you may know, the Bedford Dog Owners Group was formed some 20 years ago, to raise funds and advocate for a dog park in Bedford. The efforts of many made the park a reality. BDOG has since worked with the Town of Bedford to provide additional funding for benches, shade trees and shade structures. The newest shade structure was possible because BDOG and the Town split the $12,000 cost of this amenity. It was completed last summer.
The dog park is popular with our residents and is known as one of the loveliest dog parks in all of Westchester.
Waning interest in BDOG leads us to believe that our mission has been fulfilled. Therefore, BDOG will soon be dissolving, leaving the remainder of our funds to a local dog-related organization(s). We are currently in the process of identifying worthy organizations to fund.
Our thanks to all our members and officers, past and present, to our supporters, and to the Town of Bedford for your generosity, cooperation and donations. We feel it is the right time to complete our mission.
