This organization was formed in 1992 to address the needs of West Village dog owners, the residents of our neighborhood and our pets.

It is our mission to secure safe, fenced-in areas in our neighborhood where dog owners can congregate and where their dogs can play and exercise off-leash.

We are dedicated to working with community and city officials, veterinary and training professionals and other neighborhood groups to help improve the quality of life for dogs, dog owners and our neighbors.

WVDOG will encourage communications among West Village dog owners, address issues such as sanitation, security, rules and maintenance of approved dog runs and work with local officials to explore possibilities for dog run sites throughout the West Village.
