The Shreveport Dog Park Alliance is driven to reach the goal of raising $150,000 to start a regional dog park in Hamels Memorial Park on the southern end of Clyde Fant Parkway on the riverside.
It's our mission to make the Northwest Louisiana community a more “animal friendly” place by creating a regional dog park/event venue, to enhance the lives of the people and their pets. The Alliance will assist others in the community to make neighborhood dog parks or leash free areas. The Alliance is also an advocate for other animal groups in our community. Be Sure to Check out our Shreveport Dog Park Supporters Photo Album.
The Shreveport Dog Park Alliance was started by a group of dog lovers who believe that a better Shreveport means amenities for dog owners. In December 2010, the group decided to join with ABetterShreveport and form a Dog Park Alliance Committee. The Committee's members are both ABetterShreveport members, and other community leaders. Let's show our city that we as citizens want the Shreveport Dog Park.

Tell Mayor Glover: Give us our dog park!!
Please Sign our Petition!
This is an important time for our dog park movement.
No one likes asking for money, however we are extending our paws for assistance. On March 28, 2013 Shreveport Dog Park Alliance filed a law suit, Writ of Mandamus, against the mayor stating he is not doing his duty as described by the city charter.
The funding to build the dog park has been granted by the Red River Waterway Commission, all the mayor has to do is sign to accept it, Resolution 133 of 2012. The City Council voted that he do such, he vetoed it, and the City Council overrode his veto. The City Charter states the mayor must sign resolutions; we feel he is in violation. The hearing begins May 7, 2013, Case # 567251-C.
At this time we are seeking special donations for legal fees.
Please make checks payable to
