Dear Peru residents,

We, the Dog Park Committee, are considering developing a Dog Park, and are trying to determine interest level.

If we had an off-leash dog park in Peru, would you be interested in using it?

We realize there are many unknowns, this is just the first step.

Please respond to me, mcbrayerkara84@gmail.com , with a “Yes, I would be interested in a Dog Park,” if you are interested.  Simply press reply on your email and indicate your interest.  If you get more than one of these messages please only respond once.

We would appreciate your passing this along to as many people as you can.  We would like your response by June 28th.

Thank you for your help with this and please e-mail anyone below if you have any questions/concerns:
