On our membership form, we ask our members why they choose to support A-DOG. You can add your own reasons in the Comments section! But, we want everybody to be included who wants to be! The off leash opportunities to socialize our 4 legged family members is so important, I hope that there will be more all around town someday.
I especially want to advocate for access to green space for our dogs. Great place, great dogs, and nice responsible dog owners. I wish we had a dog park in Lexington. A huge step would be to work with Arlington landlords on allowing people to rent with dogs. When my partner and I moved here from Somerville two years ago, we were able to find exactly one โ ONE!
I moved to this town from Boston, which is a surprisingly un-dog-friendly city. We take our own pup, Gracie, the Frenchie there as well and would really love to become more integrated in what we see as one of the most involved, responsible, and hard-working canine communities around. We look forward to meeting other dog lovers in the community and socializing our good little girl, Penny with her new dog neighbors.
I feel like I was just invited into a new world with new rules, as a dog owner. I have had cats for years and love them dearly but this dog world is far more social and complex!! They are family in our household. I look forward to maintaining a membership with A-Dog.
Thanks for the opportunity Joan. Also, I do not think the dog park at Thorndike would have become a reality without the dedication of A-dog members. It is projects like the dog park that emphasize how useful an association like A-Dog is. Thanks for all that you do. There is power with solidarity. A-DOG continues to advocate for dogs and their people and works to enhance the human-dog relationship in Arlington.
