Dog Federation of New York

Mission Statement
To safeguard the common interests of all dog owners, including the protection of the rights of responsible dog owners, and the promotion of reasonable and humane animal control laws. To develop and engage in programs to educate elected officials, as well as the general public, on canine legislative proposals in order to preserve our special relationships with our dogs.

Tethering
DFNY does not condone any form of animal abuse, including inhumane tethering. Proper tethering is a responsible, humane form of restraint which safeguards both the dog and the community. Caring owners must exercise caution and adequate supervision of their dogs, regardless of the restraint method they choose to employ.

Guidelines for the Off-leash Community DFNY offers Guidelines for a Responsible Off-leash Community to off-leash dog area enthusiasts.
