Hi my name is Mark I'm 28 and i live in Sunderland. I grew up in Dorset, I have always had a connection with animals, especially dogs! I really connect with them and have studied many forms of dog training, dog care and learnt about there instinct's.

It has always been a dream of mine to set up a doggy sanctuary! a place where they can come and just be dogs together. somewhere where they can do lots of fun activities, including training. I am planning to build a grass area, a pool area for doggy swimming and also a training area. this would be a great place for dogs and there owners to come and relax after work, or on a weekend. Or just through the day. I plan to make it bright and have lots of plants and trees, for a natural relaxing feel.

In Sunderland they do not have dog parks, or any place completely save to take your dog and truly relax. there is so much rubbish and broken glass in some areas, that it not only makes walking your dog unpleasant but truly dangerous as hazards are everywhere.

I plan to educated owners on any thing they are unsure about dog behaviour and health wise. Also to provided a happy honest and friendly service, i will try to keep the charge to use the park as small as possible.

Please help fund my dream! And help many dogs and owners, connected on a deeper level. And raise awareness for all issues concerning dogs and people. Thank you so much!
