Dogs of Tucson, a dog park in Marana, Arizona, is struggling due to being mistakenly associated with protests against a nearby business selling puppies. The park's name and logo have appeared in protest footage, leading to a drop in business and reputational damage.
A local dog park in Marana is facing an unexpected challenge after its name was mistakenly associated with protests targeting a nearby business. The confusion has led to reputational damage and a drop in business for Dogs of Tucson, a dog park opened by three dog lovers one year ago.The protests, which began in July, are focused on a nearby business criticized for its puppy sales.
Due to the proximity of the two businesses, Dogs of Tucson’s name and logo have frequently appeared in protest footage, leading some to believe the dog park is involved in the controversy.Frankie Lemer, one of the owners of Dogs of Tucson, explained the situation, saying their business has no connection to the protests. 'We never ask the question of where you source your animals,' Lemer said. 'We just consider them your family.'The protests have significantly impacted the dog park’s operations. Lemer stated that business has dropped sharply, with some customers avoiding the park due to the mistaken association. 'We’ve lost 75% of the leads we were getting,' Lemer said.To address the confusion, Lemer has requested protesters remove any images featuring the dog park’s logo and has worked with the other business involved to distance themselves from the situation. Lemer wants the community to know that Dogs of Tucson welcomes all dogs, regardless of where they come from
