Overview
Help us bring Barkopolis Park + Pub to life in a permanent location! Barkopolis is a place we've dreamed about, where people (and pups!) of all breeds and creeds, backgrounds, and ball-loving obsessions come to have a good time in a casual off-leash environment that also caters to our human creature comforts - delicious food and adult beverages! We don't discriminate—if you love your dog and he loves others, we want to see you and your favorite furball at Barkopolis Park + Pub!

How This All Got Started

We love dogs. We're guessing you love dogs too (or that you clicked the wrong link, but WELCOME anyway!). Pretty quickly after starting down this road we realized there are A LOT of people in Acadiana who love dogs and want a chill place to hang with the their dogs and also enjoy themselves with other dog-loving friends and new acquaintances. 

  • Barkopolis Park + Pub is a concept and company that has already proven its demand and popularity through grass-roots social media and pop-up concept parks in Lafayette.
  • Our #1 goal is building community among dog lovers and a more dog-friendly culture in Acadiana. Barkopolis is our #HappyPlace and we're certain it will quickly become yours too!
  • This campaign will not only help us bring Barkopolis to life for so many people who want a dog-inclusive community space, but it will also serve as a conduit for more good work supporting animal welfare throughout Acadiana, one of our founding objectives. 
  • By supporting Barkopolis, you're supporting everything we stand for - community inclusivity, creative excellence, and business for a better purpose.

What We Need & What You Get

Every contribution is a partnership and commitment:

  • This campaign will help us build up investment capital to get Barkopolis Park + Pub up and running in a permanent home. We take your contributions very seriously and we are truly humbled by your support. We want to use your funds to help bring about the kind of place you want to be a part of!
  • Our contribution levels are structured to fit your comfort level of support. Wanna be our cheerleader? There's an option for that. Already a big fan and wanna go all in? You can do that too!
  • All funds, whether we meet our goal or not, will be put toward opening a permanent location of Barkopolis Park + Pub in Lafayette. The more funding we get, the quicker it'll happen.

The Impact

  • A contribution to Barkopolis is a vote for doggie Nirvana, and that's exactly what we want to create! Because as all dog lovers know, when our pups are happy, we're happy. #LifeGoals
  • This isn't just a fleeting effort. This is the culmination of all the right people, at just the right time, for exactly the right reasons, to build something amazing. We want Barkopolis Park + Pub to be something people get excited about, come back over and over for, and share with their friends.
  • We love dog people. There's an unspoken understanding of care and compassion that we know exists inside every person who's ever loved a dog. Or any animal. That's YOU! We like being around people like you, because people like you inspire us, and what better place to be than a big crowd of animal-loving inspiring people?!

Risks & Challenges

Building a business isn't easy. And it isn't without its impasses. In fact, we count on running into a few. We promise to navigate those challenges as carefully and strategically as possible. 

  • Our objective will always be to resolve hurdles as efficiently as possible, balancing conservation of the three most important resources to any business - time, effort, and money.
  • We also promise to operate ourselves and our business as fairly as possible. We want to be good ambassadors of the local business community, the dog-friendly community, and the patrons and pets we serve.
