BLDPA is tasked - through a Memorandum of Understanding with the DC Dept. of Parks and Recreation - with managing and maintaining the dog park in LeDroit Park. For example, we clean up poop when you forget to, we empty the dog park trash cans when the city forgets, we provide the poop bags for use in the park, we enforce the city's rules for dog parks, we sponsor community building events for dog owners in our neighborhood and we sponsor training events, among other things. You can support us by becoming a paid member, volunteering for an event or becoming a Dog Park Ambassador.
Mission: We are committed to building a sense of community and increasing safety in Bloomingdale & LeDroit Park by establishing and maintaining a dog park at Gage-Eckington.
Operating as usual
Please pass along.
To our furloughed community, we understand more than most that accidents and emergencies have a way of happening at the worst possible time. While the government remains closed, we are waiving our emergency exam fee and offering deferred/extended payment options for furloughed Federal employees and contractors.

Hey neighborhood dog owners! The dog park in the Park at LeDroit needs your help.
Every dog park in DC must have a community group that advocates on behalf of the dog park with the DC gov and handles basic maintenance tasks. If you are a regular user of the dog park, please consider volunteering some of your time.
There is a small group of volunteers already working on some projects, but we need your help! Things on our radar:
regular park clean-up and weeding days;
providing poop bags in the dispensers;
making the dog park safe for small dogs;
dog-friendly happy hours;
and, fundraising for a shade structure.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Jack Gillum at jgillum [at] gmail.com.
Gmail is email that's intuitive, efficient, and useful. 15 GB of storage, less spam, and mobile access.
Check out the play classes specifically for dogs who are large and in charge!
Spot On Training stands for positive-based training with evidence-based outcomes, for dogs who thrive and are happy and healthy.

LeDroit Park Civic Association
See you tonight at the LPCA monthly civic association meeting. 7pm, Florida Ave Baptist Church. All are invited!
"The stress and excitement of meeting other dogs is a classic cause of mounting, and one of the reasons you are highly likely to see the behavior on display in dog parks. Brief bouts that involve mounting of other dogs in canine social interactions – as long as they don’t lead to bloodletting or oppression of the mountee – are acceptable. Mounting of human body parts is not acceptable, nor is mounting that leads to dog fights."
So why do dogs hump? Reproduction aside, the most common reason dogs hump things is in response to stress, anxiety, and/or excitement. A trainer friend of mine tells of a friend coming to visit a friend who lives far away, visits rarely, and who is well-loved by my trainer friend s dog, a pit bull-m...

LeDroit Park Community Survey 2018
Web survey powered by SurveyMonkey.com. Create your own online survey now with SurveyMonkey's expert certified FREE templates.
The Humane Rescue Alliance is there to help if you can no longer take care of an animal but they should never have to receive an animal this way. Please reach out to them if you have any info about the owner.
The Humane Rescue Alliance is offering a $3,000 reward for information identifying the owner of a small dog left outside of the New York Avenue adoption center Wednesday evening. The dog was in a basket, double-bagged, with the bags tied shut, with a note stating the dog was dead. Upon inspection by HRA officials, the dog was alive, but suffering from multiple ailments.
“We are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the person responsible for this heinous act” said HRA’s Vice President of Field Services Chris Schindler. “She was left to suffer and die a painful death. We hope this reward will motivate someone to come forward so that justice can be served.”
Once freed from the bags, the dog, now named Mary, was examined by HRA personnel and was determined to be alert and breathing. Mary was immediately transferred to Friendship Hospital for Animals for further care and evaluation. Later in the evening it was determined Mary could not be saved and was humanely euthanized.
This case is being investigated by HRA’s Humane Law Enforcement division. If you have any information about this case, please call 202-723-5730 (option 1).
When the animals of the District of Columbia need help, our dedicated professionals are available 24/7, offering a broad range of services, including humane euthanasia for pets. For all animal related emergencies please call 202-576-6664.
We all forget bags sometimes but please be mindful!

Thank you so much DC Refined for sharing information about our upcoming photo book!! We can’t wait to see all of the photos of adorable pups!
Donate if you can!
UPDATE: Safe! Bruce and Pappy are fully funded and will be rescued today!
URGENT OWNER SURRENDERS! SHELTER EUTHANIZING TODAY! Bruce and Pappy, a father and son pair of pug mixes, were surrendered this week because their owner can no longer care for them. The shelter is completely full, with unfortunate plans to euthanize dogs to clear space before day's end. As owner surrenders, Bruce and Pappy have no legal hold time, and we need to ensure these two boys make it out as soon as possible! We have a volunteer who can bring them to our partner vet's office over her lunch break if we can raise the $500 for their vetting, boarding, and transport in time. Please help us this morning by donating to Bruce and Pappy at bit.ly/CDR-Donate. Thank you!

GATOR IS LOST!!!!! zip code 20002
Gator slipped out the door of his sitter tonight 12/31 at 9:45pm. He was lost in the 600 block of 14th St NE in Washington DC. His parents are frantically looking for him - it is very cold and he is unfamiliar with the area. Gator is about 15 lbs so he is small! He is wearing a rainbow striped collar and tag and the blue Polo seen in this photo. PLEASE SHARE and please keep Gator and his family in your prayers. They are devastated and just want him home! If spotted DO NOT CHASE and call 832-495-9222
