<div>We need your help to cover our 2026 General Liability Expenses of $1845 &amp; our Bisbee Lumber Bill over $2k. Any donation no matter how small helps us keep the Dog Park Open in 2026 and Beyond. We are completely self funded and community run, with no financial support other than what we can raise each year. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It costs more than $5k each year to take care of the park, with lawn care, trash collection, rabies tests, water tests, furniture, snow salt, insurance and parts for fence maintenance.  To say nothing of the wonderful donations of plants from the local Delaware Valley Garden Club who spend a lot of their own money to help!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help if you can!

<div><strong>WHAT IS THE HANCOCK HOUNDS DOG PARK?</strong>
</div>
<div>The Hancock Hounds Dog Park(HHDP) is an IRS approved 501(c)3 charitable organization for community beautification as an S20 NTEE.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Dog Park is a community based project actively raising funds to manage our public Dog Park behind the Hancock Town Hall at 661 West Main Street that benefits the local community as well as provide much needed community resources, physical exercise, and mental stimulation for the local dogs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We now have a large and a small dog run open to the public, community garden and information Kiosk with the Hancock Area Chamber of Commerce. We serve more than 1,600 people a year, regionally, and several thousands more from the EVolve NY Charging Stations.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div><strong>WHY DO WE NEED YOUR HELP?</strong>
</div>
<div>The Dog Park costs a minimum of $5-6k each year to operate with Liability Insurance, General Maintenance, Lawn Care etc. We cannot keep the Dog Park open without some help from the public, which our community-based org agreed to build on your behalf. We need more volunteers to help with Lawn Care, Trash Management, and rising Insurance Costs. Otherwise we are in danger of closing in 2026-2027.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>IS THE DOG PARK FOR EVERYONE!</strong>
</div>
<div>Yes, the Hancock Hounds Dog Park is for everyone. It's only a short walk for many of the local village residents and available to all Town residents and regional commuters with handicap accessible parking at the Town Hall. The public dog park is conveniently located next to the new EVolve NY (Turbo) Electric Vehicle Charging Station welcoming more than 100k people to it each year. This allows tourists to stop and charge their vehicles on their journey, and also walk their dogs in a safe environment at the same time, truly welcoming families and new faces into our town and enticing them to stay longer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>HHDP is also working to support the arts in the park by helping with new murals going into the area in the Spring of 2026. New murals will adorn the area to welcome locals, youth and visitors to Hancock NY for the first time.

<div><br />
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div><strong>WHO SUPPORTS YOUR ORGANIZATION?</strong>
</div>
<div>We are proud to have local support from the Hancock Area Chamber of Commerce, Hancock Partners, The Hancock Herald, NBT Bank, The Delaware Valley Garden Club, Delaware River Solar, The Campton's, Hancock Community Education Foundation, and many other respected businesses and non-profit organizations in the local community. This dog park is located in the scenic Western Catskills at the Gateway to the Delaware River in upstate New York, designed and built for the betterment of the entire community and their canine friends.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div><strong>WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?</strong>
</div>
<div>The closest dog parks available to local residents are in Deposit NY or Binghamton NY approximately 1/2 hour to 1 hour away, and not all dogs can easily or safely travel by car and not all dog owners in the community can drive or have the ability to do so. HHDP wants this Dog Park to provide emotional support, physical exercise, and new business opportunities for the local community to be able to build jobs and infrastructure to support animal/pet needs throughout the town. HHDP hopes to partner with local civic organizations to provide access to jobs for Dog Walking, and to work with local Veterinary services to ensure better access to vaccinations, spade/neuter services, and dog registration in Hancock.

</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div><strong>WHERE IS THE DOG PARK LOCATED?</strong>
</div>
<div>The Town has generously agreed to allow HHDP a land use license for 661 W Main Street to install and operate the dog park behind the Hancock Town Hall. This means HHDP does not have to raise funds for the land itself, saving more than a year of lead time. This also means HHDP can save resources and time for the dog park itself to do it to a higher standard of quality, and add more features over time. This also means we can open the dog park more quickly and efficiently to the public, and make it more accommodating for those who may be handicapped, disabled, or require closer access to parking and shade.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>*This amazing opportunity would not be possible without the <strong>VERY GENEROUS</strong> support of the Town of Hancock and their incredible leadership who has been so supportive of our small grassroots organization since the beginning.
