Our Goals
Our founding goal, and one we are still focused on, is the creation of a Dedicated Dog Park. We understand that this will take time, dedication, and funding. So, in the meantime, we have set two additional goals.
The first is to help our business owner-supporters with a new campaign to promote Carpinteria as a dog-friendly place to visit. It’s estimated that 70% of U.S. households have pets and that approximately 78% of those bring their pets with them when they travel. Our “Eat, Sleep & Play” campaign helps tourists find dog-friendly places when they visit our site. Window stickers at participating businesses help direct visitors to our site and the participating businesses. We have plans to promote “Dog-Friendly Carpinteria” far and wide.
Our second is working with the City of Carpinteria to enhance their “Leash-Up, Pick-Up” campaign. We’ll be piloting some new bag/waste stations with the assistance of the City and Carp Beautiful. If all goes to plan, we’d like to establish twenty more installations to take away the excuse of people not picking up after their dogs because they don’t have a bag or leaving their bags on the ground because there wasn’t a trash can nearby.
