A donation from the Biddeford Animal Hospital has put plans for the Biddeford Dog Park on the Fast Track. The Elm Street Animal Hospital submitted a $10,000 donation this week which will cover most of of fencing material for the park. David Kinnison, Practice Manager, said owners Drs. Alicia Simard and Mounir Soliman support providing dogs with open space and wanted to support the cause. "They thought it would be an excellent way to give back to the community, and that now was the time to do that" said Kinnson. With the donation to the park, the Dog Park Committee hopes to be able to move forward with the fence installation this September.
