Note:  Although the donation link remains for anyone who wishes to support our efforts, we are not actively fund raising at this time.  During 2019, we needed funds for lawyer fees related to incorporation; further expenses include this website domain, photocopying, etc. Our current financial needs are minimal - we will let you know if this changes.  Membership is free with no monetary expectations!

Why We Continue to Raise Funds: FoMBW is a volunteer organization, with all funding going toward operating expenses. Initially, our funding covered incorporation fees, business cards, printing and copying materials, and two years of website domain and hosting. In the future, we hope to raise funds in order to offer small stipends to dog training experts who offer services concerning reactive dogs, fear of dogs, etc. In addition, we plan to promote regular park clean-up days with small tokens of appreciation for the volunteers and/or their dogs.

A wonderful article about off-leash dogs that summarizes and expands upon the points we have made:
