What is BOLA?
BOLA is nothing but an idea at this point but with the help of Bloomsburg dog owners and this web site, hopefully we can convince the town to spare a small portion of the park to make it a Bloomsburg Off-Leash Area for our dogs.
  Amelia & Minus My hope for this web site is to get as many dog owners as possible to sign the guest book. This will then be used as a sort of "PET-ition" which will hopefully encourage the town to give the dogs a fenced-in area at the park where they can run around and have fun.  
 

Here are just a few of the many benefits that an off-leash area provides:

  • Improves the heath and good citizenship of canines through exercise & socialization
  • Knits together an important community social fabric among dog owners
  • Promotes responsible dog ownership & education
  • Residents will be able to easily exercise their dogs which will in turn make the dogs more well-behaved in the home
  • It gives people a lot of pleasure to watch their dogs at play
  • Contributes to dog owners' physical fitness programs to be able to exercise with their dog
  • Improves the mental state of not only the dog, but the owner as well
 

Of course there will be rules to follow if we are able to start a dog park in our community. Here are a few to consider:

  • All dogs must be spayed/neutered
  • No puppies under 4 months old allowed
  • All dogs must have a current license & vaccinations
  • No aggressive dogs
  • No sick dogs (this includes parasites such as worms, fleas and ticks)
  • Owners must be within sight of their dog(s) at all times
  • Owners must be at least 15 years old
  • Small children should be monitored closely
  • Owners must bring a leash with them
  • Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs. This will play a key part in the success of the park!
