All About The Dogs At Lakewood Foster Pool [Photo Gallery, Video]

LAKEWOOD, OH -- It was a doggone day at the 2017 Dog Swim at Foster Pool benefiting the Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park (FLDP)! There was nothing short of fun for our four-legged furry friends. Water-dogs and land-dogs packed the pool with their humans by 5:30 and the fun lasted up until the last bell rang at 7:00 p.m. (See the photo gallery and videos at the bottom of this article.)

Proceeds will benefit FLDP, the all-volunteer, non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization that works with the City of Lakewood to care for the Lakewood Dog Park and raises funds for dog park improvements. The Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park, (originally named FIDO), was founded in January 2002 as a citizen’s group helping to bring a dog park to Lakewood in the belief that such a park would enhance the livability of Lakewood as it has for other communities nationwide.
