The Friends of Lynchburg Dog Park, Inc. is a Virginia non-profit corporation. We received IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status approval in order to fundraise for the construction, maintenance, and management of a public off-leash dog park within the City of Lynchburg, Virginia.
Working in partnership with the City, the off-leash park will be built within the Blackwater Creek Athletic Area.
The project will be funded through donations and grants, and will be constructed in phases as monies become available.
