 Committed to enriching the

lives and recreational opportunities

for dogs and their owners.

 

Who We Are

Bedford Dog Owners Group, Inc. (BDOG), a non-profit corporation operating under 501(c)(3) status, is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to improving the recreational opportunities and the lives of dogs and their owners. All of the programs and initiatives of Bedford D.O.G. are supported through membership fees and private donations. For many people, dogs are an integral part of their lives. Many dog owners enjoy outdoor activities with their dogs such as hiking and playing ball. They look for opportunities to socialize together with other owners and their dogs. Spending recreational time together, however, is greatly hindered when a dog must be kept on leash.
 

Our Mission

To lend support in the creation of a dog park in Bedford and to provide ongoing community assistance to maintain it as a recreational asset for the citizens of Bedford. To maintain a positive presence in the community, encourage community involvement, and recreation through the development of dog parks. Strengthen community values and compliance with canine laws by promoting dog access policies and responsible dog ownership. Support conservation of open land by containing the areas used for recreation by citizens with their dogs. Educate the community about responsible dog ownership.

DOG PARK ISSUES IN FRONT OF
THE TOWN OF BEDFORD

 

UPDATE ON SIGNAGE
The current signage is not correct.  All dogs are fine in the large area.  If owners are worried about small dogs they can go in small dog area. If a large dog is aggressive then they should not be at the park. Owners need to work with their dog and cooperate with other owners. 

SELL 55 PERMITS AT $55 EACH
AND RAISE $3,025

We have met with Bedford Town Supervisor Lee Roberts and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee several times. We were originally asked to wait several seasons as they were concerned about park use, the neighbors and having too many people at the park. It has been two years now and the current resident users would like to legalize all of our neighborhood users and friends. This legalization will also ensure proper vaccination and registration.  We want to encourage proper use of the park. 

 

COMING SOON TO THE PARK!

Three new benches have been purchased by BDOG. The Bedford Parks and Recreation Department will install next week!

Letter from Non-resident

Hopefully I am using the proper process to send you this note...if not please forward to the appropriate person. I read in the email 11/1 of the BDOG News...that there is a conversation/proposal afloat to allow for a certain number of "non-resident" passes be made available for the Canine Commons Dog Park. Although I was unclear about who would be eligible to purchase these passes...and are the an annual pass?? Read more...
