Gold Canyon D.O.G. -Dog Owners Group-
Mission Statement:
"To Promote Responsible Dog Ownership"
The brainchild
of Marta Saint-James and her dog Kramer ,
Gold Canyon D.O.G. - Dog Owners Group, and the future off-leash
dog park KRAMER'S RUN, will promote responsible dog ownership
through educational activities and events for owners and their dogs
so they can interact. The most important task for D.O.G. will be
finding a suitable site for the park.
My husband
Curt Fonger and I started a project: The planning and fundraising
of the first off-leash dog park in Gold Canyon, named in memory
of Kramer, our Golden Retriever who raised so much money for this
park. Curt owns Visions of the Southwest Photography, LLC.
www.VisionsoftheSW.com He
is the official "Pawtographer" for Gold Canyon D.O.G.
Curt created a Special Edition Kramer’s Cards. All
the proceeds will go to the off-leash park. In 12 months we raised
over $1,200 from these cards. As of May 31, 2008 we have $7,386.60
Dollars in the Gold Canyon D.O.G. bank account (our financial
records are open to anyone who wish to see them).

Kramer
was our 12 year old Golden Retriever. He was a very special dog
in Gold Canyon, loved by everyone in this beautiful community. Numerous
articles in the Gold Canyon Ledger, local newspapers, in The Arizona
Republic and the East Valley Tribune. He was also quite famous in
events such as Special Olympics as a therapy dog.
Kramer has been instrumental in this project. With his
sweet face, his famous doggie lunchbox and his love for humans,
he has raised hundreds of dollars for the park.
Kramer crossed the Rainbow Bridge on January
15, 2005 with Mom and Dad on his side.
