We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the many individuals and organizations whose support made this Dog Friendly Area (DFA) a reality. Thank you to:
  • Elected Officials: Alderwoman Rossana Rodríguez Sánchez and the 33rd Ward Office, Matt Martin, Congressman Mike Quigley, State Representatives Jaime Andrade and Ann Williams, and former Aldermen Deb Mell, Ameya Pawar, and Dick Mell, along with their dedicated staffs.
  • Chicago Park District & Horner Park: The Horner Park Advisory Council, Horner Park Supervisor Deb Groh, former Park Supervisor Tom McManamon, and the entire Horner Park staff. We also thank the broader Chicago Park District team, including Heather Gleason, Doreen O’Donell, Maya Solis, Janis Taylor, Michael Lange, Nate Lovey, Claudine Malik, Bob Foster, and Mike Brown.
  • Project Partners & Community Organizations: Friends of the Park, Christy Webber Landscapes (especially Jonathon Smith and Tiffany Danielle), Clayton Ruyle of The Care of Trees, Jonathan Miller and the Baxter & Woodman team,  and the Ravenswood Manor Improvement Association.
  • The Community: The leaders from other DFAs who generously shared their knowledge, the 700 people who took the time to sign the petition, and everyone who follows us on social media and helps spread the good word about the DFA initiative.

Thank you all!
