    ArlingtonDogs is an all-volunteer organization that advocates on behalf of responsible dog guardianship. By working to establish and maintain off-leash dog exercise areas where dogs can exercise and their human companions can congregate and share information about training, vaccination, spaying/neutering, and proper waste disposal, ArlingtonDogs members seek to promote responsible dog ownership and healthy dogs. ArlingtonDogs also provides assistance and raises funds for shelter, foster care, and other canine health and welfare activities throughout the year, as well as organizes and participates in park and recreational efforts to improve the quality of all parks in Arlington.
