The Dogs of Manitowoc Community Project
What is the Manitowoc Dogs Community Project?
The Manitowoc Dogs Community project is just that: a community project to create a book about the dogs of Manitowoc. In this book, dogs found at the various dog parks in Manitowoc will be photographed. With the owner’s permission and written consent, the pictures of their dog(s) will be turned into coloring pages. They will then be compiled into a collection of pictures, fun facts, and coloring pages centered around local dogs. Everything will be compiled a book called “The Dogs of Manitowoc” and become published. Local Manitowoc shops will be contacted to see if they’d be interested in selling it in their stores.

The Goal
The goal is to help bring the community together and share the best things about our furry friends with each other.
What Does the Community Get Out of this Project?
It won’t just be a fun coloring book; it’ll also serve as a way to get people to connect with each other and learn about some of the dogs living right next door. In addition to connecting people with each other, 50% of all book profits will go to the Manitowoc Lakeshore Humane Society to help more dogs, cats, and other animals find their forever home.
What Do You Get Out of Having Your Dog Included in the Book?
Not only will dog owners be able to share some of the things they love about their dog(s), but once the book and it’s marketing has been completed, the owners of the dogs used in the book will be contacted and notified of the finished product. They will also be sent an email with the finished coloring page of their dog(s) and a discount code for the finished book as an added thank you.
How do you get your dog into the book?
Simple! Just fill out the forms available for download on the submissions page then re-upload the completed forms with an image of your furry friend to submissions.
