"We the residents of Portlaoise currently have no area for our dogs to go, to exercise, play and socialise, off the lead. We sign this petition to Laois County Council to create an enclosed off-lead dog park similar to the one in Corkagh park Clondalkin; fenced on all sides with self closing gates and water  facility at a site the council deems fit.  The dogs can run and exercise in a clean, enclosed  safe environment without threatening, endangering or annoying adults, children, property or wildlife. The dog park would be a well- maintained space open to all dog lovers and friends who are willing to uphold the park's rules and restrictions. This dog park would satisfy the needs of dog-owners and non-dog owners alike.”

Pen & Paper petition also available in FETCH your pet needs, pet shop, O'Connell square, Mountmellick, Laois and also BROWNS ANIMAL FEEDS Clonminham ind est , Portlaoise. Call in and sign please.
