Marble Falls woman barks for parks

by Alexandria Randolph

A Marble Falls woman is campaigning for the creation of a city dog park.

Megan Klaeger, a former New Yorker, began her mission to establish a city dog park three weeks ago after moving back to Texas from the Big Apple in May.

“I lived in New York for six years and had a dog, and we would go to the dog park all the time,” Klaeger said. “When I moved back here, I adopted a dog from a local shelter. She has a ton of energy.”

Klaeger said that she would like to be able to take her new pup, Jo, to a local dog hangout to make new four-legged and two-legged friends, but there are none in Marble Falls. She decided to try to establish one.

“We’ve gotten a lot of support,” Klaeger said.

Klaeger said dog park supporters may sign the petition for Jo’s Dog Park at Pet Supply Plus or by emailing marblefallsdogpark@gmail.com to join the mailing list.
