D.O.G.O.S (Dogs and Owners Going Out for Safety) is a volunteer-run initiative of dog owners who are walking their four-legged friends through the streets of Bridgeland-Riverside, while keeping an eye out for safety.
Our community’s dog owners are no strangers to facing all the elements at all times of the day and night and if you’ve walked around Bridgeland-Riverside you have likely noticed that we have an abundance of dogs! So, we thought: what better population to increase eyes on the street to report concerns that increase safety and beauty in Bridgeland?
The D.O.G.O.S group is regularly briefed with community resources and supports to help efficiently report concerns to the proper avenue. For example, reporting overflowing garbage bins to 3-1-1, reporting prowlers to police or the Community Engagement Team, reporting infrastructure concerns to 3-1-1, and referring individuals in distress to the Alpha House HELP team. The goal of the group is for community members to keep doing something they already do, while keeping an eye out for things that can improve safety, cleanliness, and community well-being.
The group is not exclusive to only dog owners, everyone is welcome. Meetings occur every second Wednesday of the month. If you are interested in joining, please contact [email protected] or join the Facebook group D.O.G.O.S. BRCA.
