Misty Gedlinske and Kathy Treml – Dogs in the Park

Misty Gedlinske and her husband are founders of Fond du Lac Dogs in Parks. They have designed and self-funded two pet waste stations for Prairie and Peebles Trails. Now they are looking for funding for stations in the twelve parks that the city council has approved for being able to walk your dogs in these parks. The total startup costs for the commercial waste stations are $7,500.  The annual cost for upkeep is about $1,000. They feel that the city should not have to cover these costs and that is important to have dogs in our parks.
