Thank you for visiting Spencer's Run and for taking such good care of our wonderful dog park. It is a place of joy and camaraderie for so many four and two footed friends even in these days of mud and ice.

As you may know, Spencer's Run is funded by donations. Please consider donating a "bone" for your favorite buddy. Details can be found below.

Your $100 donation to Friends of Spencer's Run endowment helps insure our off-leash park doesn't go to the non-dogs!
