Callahan Dog Owners Group
The Callahan Dog Owners Group is an organization of canine-loving humans who mobilized in 2006 in response to a proposal by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation to limit off-leash privileges within the 800-plus acres that comprise Callahan State Park.
We remain committed to efforts to retain our hard-won off-leash status in designated areas of the park; to representing and upholding – as well as enlightening and reminding – appropriate standards of responsible dog ownership; to the preservation, protection and promotion of the pristine nature of the park, and to camaraderie with and respect for each other and all the many varied multi-use neighbors who share its bounty.
The DCR has recently informed us that there will be no funds budgeted for the Park to provide dog waste bags and other support services this year. The Callahan Dog Owners Group (Cal Dog) has set an initial fundraising goal of $10,000 to capitalize an operating fund to immediately provide basic services provided by DCR and initiate a more active long term Community Outreach Program. Thereafter, a monthly fund raising goal of $1000 is targeted to cover operating costs. Please consider helping us reach these goals.

LIFE WITH A DOG
“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring — it was peace.” – Milan Kundera (Author, The Unbearable Lightness of Being)
