Trying to devote downtown land to create a dog park, no-kill animal shelter, and preserve valuable g

As urban development grows around Baton Rouge, our green spaces start to dwindle.  I feel as if most of the developers around Baton Rouge are not concerned about this.
I am trying to gain signatures in an attempt to devote a segment of land in the downtown area to a beautiful dog park, no-kill animal shelter, vet and behavior clinic, cafe to enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine with your pet and other pet owners, and a day boarding and kennel facility.  Our staff will provide constant attention, interaction, and a great deal of playtime with your pets (in other words, they will not be locked up most of the day).
This facility will not only serve the needs of downtown residents, but will also provide a great place for pet owners from all over to socialize with their animals and other pet owners.  Additionally, this park will help preserve the beauty of downtown.  All great cities have beautiful parks in an urban setting--why should we be different?
Please show your support by signing the petition.
Thank you,Ryan M. Andree
