Petition in Support of New Orleans Dog Park
Sign Now
To: New Orlean City Council and Mayor's office
I support the creation of official, off-leash dog parks, runs, and/or areas in New Orleans. Dog parks are the answer to dogs running loose in public areas!
Off-leash dog parks provide a place for dogs to socialize with each other, getting the physical and mental exercise they need to be good companions and good neighbors.
In addition, off-leash areas benefit the community in many ways:
dog parks keep the animals away from children and people who dont like them
they help keep other public spaces free of feces
they promote responsible pet ownership
they promote public health and safety since the dogs who use the park must be licensed and vaccinated
they provide a tool for enforcing dog control laws
well-socialized dogs are less aggressive towards people and other dogs
for elderly and disabled people, a dog park is often the only accessible place to bring their companions to socialize
they foster community feeling -- dog park users get to know each other well
dog parks are desirable neighborhood amenities for newcomers
groups of dogs and owners can revitalize little-used areas
Every city in the U.S. larger than New Orleans has at least one dog park. Most have three or more. New York City alone has 26!
Dog parks are not a fad; they are being created across the U.S. every month due to the combined efforts of community groups and local governments.
