Buffola

Help us create an Off Leash Recreational Area (Dog Park) on Buffalo’s Waterfront. We believe that dog parks:

• Improve the heath and good citizenship of canines through exercise & socialization

• Knit together an important community social fabric among dog owners

• Create venues to promote responsible dog ownership & education

• Promote ownership and pride in our public spaces

• Show case & deepen our commitment to Buffalo’s greatest asset: Our Waterfront.

We envision and support a series of officially sanctioned Off Leash Areas across our region in both fenced and unfenced formats organized by citizen action groups in coordination with our local municipalities.

It is time that Buffalo join the 250 other communities around the country who have established Off Leash Areas for dogs. Contact us at BuffaloDogs@hotmail.com
