Also, we had folks from the Geo Re-entry Program who worked hard to make the train sparkle. ✨

FYI: If you're looking to hire, these guys need to get back in the game!

Not to make you feel bad 😉 😉... Not a single neighbor showed up to help. perhaps

Hello Rincon Hill Dog Lovers,

As we approach the Fourth of July, we want to give you a heads-up about scheduled fireworks displays that could affect our beloved pets. On July 3rd, between 9:30 and 9:45 p.m., and on July 4th, between 9:30 and 9:50 p.m., there will be fireworks in our area. While these displays are beautiful and celebratory, they can be incredibly stressful and scary for our furry friends.

Here are some tips to help your pets get through this potentially traumatic time:

1. Play Soothing Music: Turn on some calming music at a slightly louder volume to help drown out the sound of fireworks. The continuous sound can help reduce their anxiety.

2. Use ThunderShirts: If you have a ThunderShirt, now is the perfect time to use it. These wraps apply gentle, constant pressure, which can have a calming effect on your dog.

3. Secure Harnesses: Ensure your dog is wearing a secure harness instead of a collar leash. This can prevent them from pulling away and running off if they get startled by the noise.

4. Close Windows and Doors: Make sure all windows and doors are securely closed. This not only reduces the noise but also prevents any chance of your pet escaping in a panic.

5. Create a Safe Space: Designate a quiet, comfortable area in your home where your pet can feel safe. This could be a room with no windows or a cozy spot with their favorite blankets and toys.

6. Stay Calm and Reassuring: Your pet can pick up on your emotions, so try to stay calm and provide them with comfort and reassurance.

Additionally, be aware that there may be unscheduled fireworks from neighbors or others in the area. Keeping your pets indoors and following the above tips throughout the evening can help them feel more secure.

Wishing you all a safe and Happy Fourth of July! Let's celebrate our independence while keeping our furry friends comfortable and safe.

Dear Dog Lovers,

As the year draws to a close, we at Rincon Hill Dog Park are filled with gratitude for your unwavering support. Thanks to your generosity, we've been able to keep our doors open and provide a safe and enriching environment for our furry companions and their families. However, as we look towards the future, we recognize the need for a more sustainable funding model to ensure the park's long-term success.

That's why we're excited to announce a new initiative to double your generosity with company matching programs. Many companies offer matching donation programs, allowing you to make a significant impact while reducing your personal financial contribution.

Here's how it works:

Check your company's matching gift policy: Many companies offer matching donation programs that can double or even triple your contribution. Check your company's employee portal or human resources department to see if they have a matching gift program.

Make a donation to Rincon Hill Dog Park: Once you've confirmed your company's matching gift policy, make a donation to Rincon Hill Dog Park. You can donate online, by mail, or in person.

Submit your matching gift request: After making your donation, submit a matching gift request to your company. Your company will typically request documentation of your donation, such as a confirmation email or receipt.

Enjoy the impact of your doubled donation: Your company will process your matching gift request and send us a check for the matching amount. This means your donation will have twice the impact!

Your generous contribution, combined with the power of company matching programs, can make a significant difference in securing the future of Rincon Hill Dog Park. With your support, we can continue to provide a safe and welcoming space for our community and its canine companions.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to double your impact. Your generosity is essential to ensuring the continued success of Rincon Hill Dog Park.

Time is ticking for our beloved dog park! As many of you are aware, we are currently facing a critical situation. With just two days left until November 14, we find ourselves in urgent need of raising $1200 to keep our park operational.

We’ve made incredible progress so far, thanks to your generosity, reaching $935. This is a testament to our community’s spirit and commitment. However, we’re not quite there yet.

Here’s a snapshot of our current situation:

Total funds needed for this month: $1200

Amount raised so far: $935

Monthly subscriptions contributing: $220

DONATE

Your small contributions have been the lifeblood of our park. If each person who cherishes this space could contribute even a modest amount, we could easily bridge this gap. It’s not just about keeping the gates open; it’s about maintaining a safe, enjoyable environment for our beloved dogs and a cherished gathering place for our community.

How You Can Help:

Donate: Every little bit helps! Whether it’s $5, $10, or more, your contribution makes a difference.

Spread the Word: Share our cause with friends, family, and fellow dog lovers. The more people know, the more support we can garner.

Monthly Supporter: Consider becoming a monthly supporter. Even a small monthly commitment aids our planning and sustainability.

This park isn’t just a patch of dirt – it’s a community. It’s where friendships are made, tails wag, and memories are created. Let’s come together to ensure we don’t lose this special place.

We have just 48 hours. Let’s make each one count!

Thank you for your unwavering support and love for our dog park.

Warmest regards,

The Volunteer Team

We have an important update regarding the future of Rincon Hill Dog Park, and we need your continued support to keep our beloved park open.

Tax-Deductible Donations:
Based on the recent poll results, the community has spoken, and the majority has chosen to support the park through tax-deductible donations. We greatly appreciate your input and trust in our shared vision for the park’s future. Your contributions are now more critical than ever.

Why Monthly Recurring Donations Matter:
To ensure the sustainability and improvement of our park, we’ve set an average monthly funding goal of $1,200. This amount covers the park’s ongoing maintenance and allows us to make essential enhancements that benefit everyone.

Here’s where you can make a real difference: Consider setting up a monthly recurring donation. By doing so, you provide us with the consistent support we need to manage our budget effectively and make long-term improvements. Even small monthly contributions can add up and have a significant impact.

Our Deadline: November 14, 2023:
We want to be transparent with you about our financial situation. If we do not reach our monthly funding goal of $1,200 by November 14, 2023, we will be faced with the heartbreaking decision to close the park indefinitely.

How to Make Your Monthly Donation:
It’s easy to contribute. Simply visit our website and click the DONATE button below and choose the “Monthly Recurring Donation” option. Every dollar counts, and your generosity will directly support the park’s future.

We understand that these are challenging times for everyone, but we believe in the strength of our community and our shared commitment to our four-legged friends and the legacy we’ve built at Rincon Hill Dog Park.

Thank you for your unwavering support. Together, we can ensure that our park remains a vibrant and cherished space for years to come.

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Rincon Hill Dog Park Volunteer Team

10/21/2023

Hello Neighbors,

We need to talk about the Rincon Hill Dog Park—a community treasure that is on the verge of closure. We have a Street Park agreement with the city which clearly states that this park is not funded by the city and relies on community support for maintenance and operation.

The Situation:

Despite the fondness many of you have for the park, the cold truth is we’re running on fumes. We throw parties and the park is buzzing, but when it comes to cleanup? Crickets. This is not sustainable. The park cannot be sustained by just four volunteers. Not a single community member came to the last three Clean ‘n Sweeps and we are only receiving 1/3 of the required amount in monthly donations.

What Can Be Done?

We have two options to keep the park open:

1. Pay to have the park cleaned: Visitors should be expected to make a monthly contribution to cover the ongoing expense of cleaning the park.

-or-

2. Clean the park ourselves: Visitors should be expected to participate in at least one 20 minute cleaning session every 3 months to maintain the park.

Immediate Action

Vote for your preferred option. Voting closes on October 30, 2023.

The Outcome
– Should the community choose the route of financial contributions, we’ll establish a year-end fundraising goal and set an additional target for 2024. It’s essential to note that the amount required for maintenance represents just a fraction of our overall monthly costs.

– If physical cleanup wins, expect a Google Sheet where you can sign up for 20-minute cleanup slots.

The Stakes:

If we fail to meet either requirement, the park will be locked indefinitely.

Remember
11 years ago, this neighborhood fought for this park. It’s not just a park; it’s a legacy we owe to our community and our furry friends. Let’s not lose it due to negligence.

This is not a drill; it’s a call to action. The future of Rincon Hill Dog Park is in your hands.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this critical matter.

Sincerely,
The Rincon Hill Dog Park Volunteer Team

This is Eva, she’s about 35 lbs. She desperately needs a home. She's been boarded in a kennel for the last year because her owners can’t have her in their current living situation. Unfortunately, now they can not afford the kennel anymore. ☹️

She’s a 4.5 year old chihuahua lab mix. She is incredibly mellow and loves other dogs but gets anxious around strangers so it may take some time for her to warm up to you. She is up to date on her shots.

Please consider taking her home and share the post 💞

Hello, wonderful members of the Rincon Hill Dog Park community!

As you may know, San Francisco has recently been impacted by fire smoke. We love seeing you and your four-legged friends enjoy the park, but your pet's safety is our top priority. That's why we're sharing some key points on how to protect your dog during this season.

🐾Checking Air Quality Index (AQI)
Before heading out to the park, make sure you check the AQI to determine whether it's safe for outdoor activities. You can refer to websites like AirNow or apps that offer real-time air quality data. Google offers another option that shows pockets of smoke and, at the time of this post, our neighborhood was in the orange range.

🐾Short Walks Over Long Runs
If you find that the AQI is at an acceptable but not ideal level, consider shortening your visit to the park. A brief walk will allow your dog to stretch their legs while minimizing their exposure to harmful particles in the air.

🐾Indoor Fun & Games
If the AQI levels are too high, it's better to opt for some indoor fun. Here are some indoor activities to consider:

Tug-of-War: A good old game of tug-of-war can keep your dog entertained.

Hide and Seek: Hide some of your dog's favorite toys around the house and let them find them.

Food Puzzles: These are great for mental stimulation.

We're all in this together, and by taking these precautions, we're doing our best to ensure our pets stay healthy and happy. Stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you and your pooches at the park soon!

🚫 Foxtails & Furry Friends: A Hidden Hazard! 🌾

🐶 Stay Vigilant, Stay Safe! 🐾

Attention, fur parents! Let's talk foxtails – those deceptively innocent grass seeds that can harm our beloved pups! 😱 Stay informed and keep your furry friends out of harm's way with these quick tips!

🌾 The Danger: Foxtails are barbed seeds that burrow into your dog's skin, causing discomfort and health issues.

🚩 Warning Signs: Watch for paw licking, sneezing, scratching ears, or swelling. Act fast and consult your vet if you spot these signs!

✅ Prevention is Key: Regular grooming, avoiding grassy areas, trimming nails, and thorough post-outdoor checks can keep foxtails at bay.

🌟 Spread the Word: Share this vital info to protect our pack! Let's keep all pups happy and safe! 🐾💙
