- JOIN YOUR LOCAL CIVIC ASSOCIATION
Get involved with your local civic association, homeowners' association, or condo association and/or the Arlington County Civic Federation -- Arlington has a relatively small amount of public land available and the demands on that land are increasing--athletic fields, play grounds, and development pressures are continuing to put our community canine areas under assault. In the last few years, at least two of our CCAs have been the focus of contentious battles involving alleged assaults on individual dog owners, dogs and property within the CCA by individuals and/or groups who question our right to be involved in responsible dog ownership communities.
While we are working with the police and animal control to address the physical and verbal assaults, another form of attack comes from our civic organizations in the form of resolutions that would close or limit CCAs. If you are not a participating member of your civic organization, you will not be aware of these resolutions until they are enacted and it is too late to stop them. Please--it takes time--but get involved. Stay aware of what your civic organization is up to. Become an ambassador for the CCAs and for responsible dog ownership. And vote.
