Fund-raiser for Locust Point Dog Park

The group trying to bring a dog park to Latrobe Park in Locust Point is holding another fund-raiser -- tonight at No Idea Tavern, 1649 Hanover Street.

Tonight's "Yappy Hour" is scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m., and will include raffles to raise money for the dog park, which would be the second one in the city.

The Canton Dog Park is now the only place in the city where dogs can legally play unleashed.

The Friends of Latrobe Park group, which under city rules is responsible for funding, building and maintaining the area, is trying to raise $60,000 so that work on the park could start in a few months. Its members also meet the first Saturday of the month to clean the park.

According to the organization's website, it's glad to accept any last-minute donations for tonight's raffle -- dog-related or not.

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
