MISSION

The Off Leash Society, in accordance with the Shelby Farms Conservancy Master Plan, advocates for public education along with maintenance and improvements to promote responsible and enjoyable use of the dog park area.

The Off Leash Society is a group of dedicated users of the Shelby Farms dog park area who are committed to:

  • Sharing in the Shelby Farms Conservancy’s vision of a master plan through participation in the Conservancy’s scheduled meetings and involvement in their continuous improvement activities.
  • Advocating for maintaining the existing acreage of the dog park at Shelby Farms for the continued use as a public off-leash dog park.
  • Supporting initiatives that help educate the public on dog park etiquette, safety issues and the general benefits of the dog park through website information, public programs and special projects.
  • Creating opportunities that generate funds to sponsor park enhancements for the enjoyment of dogs owners and their pets.
  • Seeking to foster mutually advantageous relationships within the park community through stewardship efforts to provide a socially responsible network of dog park users.
