What we do
The purpose of the Friends organization is to promote the health and welfare of companion animals and their owners through education and recreation. The Friends shall strive to work in close cooperation with Hanover County – to plan, promote, establish, operate, maintain, regulate and otherwise work – to create and support public off-leash dog parks in Hanover County; and to view the dog parks as community projects – in partnership with Hanover County, local businesses, and area civic organizations – that satisfy the needs of dog owners and non-dog owners alike.
How we work
Friends is comprised entirely of passionate volunteers and supported by equally passionate donors!
