TOPSHAM — Happy Paws Unleashed will host an open house and dog wash from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at its new location, 647 Lewiston Road, to benefit efforts to create a dog park near the Androscoggin River Bicycle and Pedestrian Path in Brunswick.
Members of a committee formed to create the park will attend the event, which will include prizes and giveaways, discount micro-chipping, photo opportunities and a free training seminar at noon.
To date, the dog park committee reports that it has raised $24,000 for the park. Plans call for opening the park in fall 2012 or as soon as fundraising goals are met.
