The Houston Dog Park Association is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization
begun in 1998 with the purpose of establishing a network of dog parks
in Houston and the surrounding communities. To that end, HDPA has worked
to raise public awareness of the benefits and appropriate use of dog
parks and has assisted Harris County and the City of Houston in the
development of the area’s first official parks. While it has no
jurisdiction over the dog parks, HDPA has been instrumental in helping
Houston become a nationally recognized dog-friendly city.
Now that Houstonians have embraced the concept of dog parks and those
dog parks have been recognized as the best dog parks in the country
(with more to come), HDPA continues to serve as an advisor to area dog
park groups as they plan and open their own neighborhood parks.
Through your donations, the HDPA is able to continue our educational,
advisory, and support efforts at local dog-related events and on our
web site. While your financial contribution is important to us, your
volunteer efforts as “a working member” are invaluable.
Join us and help your dog have the time of its life.
