RONCEVERTE, WV (WVNS) – The Ronceverte Island Dog Park is gearing up for its summertime opening.
The City of Ronceverte is closer to breaking ground on Southern West Virginia’s
first dog park to open. The Friends of Ronceverte (FOR), a local nonprofit, and Chris Rodriguez-Stanley, a native of Ronceverte, worked together to raise the money needed to purchase materials and
secure a contractor to build the dog park.
“The City appreciates the work that FOR and Chris and Jorge Rodriguez-Stanley have done so
