Dog park proposed for Cleveland’s Tinsley Park

Born in Atlanta with severe deformities and adopted by the Alabama woman as a puppy, the mixed-breed dog has gangly legs, a body that appears to have been cut in two and no neck. She hops like a frog to stand up and walks with a high-shouldered gait that resembles a gorilla. Unable to swing her head side to side, Pig spins her whole body to see what's beside her.

CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Plans and pledges are in the works for the creation of a city dog park within Tinsley Park.

On Monday, the Cleveland City Council will vote whether to approve conceptual plans for the dog park and to provide preparatory and maintenance services for the canine facility.

Cleveland’s commitment of services to the project is contingent on private fundraising of $115,000, the estimated cost for the development, construction and installation of the fenced dog zones in the northwest area of Tinsley Park.

“The cost of the Cleveland Dog Park will be funded predominantly from donations from local citizens, business leaders and companies,” said developer John Sheehan in an email to city planner Corey Divel.

The proposed dog park already has received $60,000 in pledges, according to the resolution that will be presented to the council.
