About

Waltham Forest 4 Dogs is a community organisation that promotes responsible dog ownership and represents local dog owners’ voices, in particular when liaising with the London Borough of Waltham Forest council. We are a formalised constituted body with an elected committee.

We were founded in 2013, in response to the council’s lack of consultation with dog owners over proposed changes to the borough’s dog control orders. In our three-week campaign we gathered 520 petition signatures, and this led to consultation with the council over the DCOs. As a result, the DCOs that came into effect from January 2014 are fairer to responsible dog owners and well-behaved dogs than they might have been.

Waltham Forest 4 Dogs welcomes local dog owners to our thriving Facebook group. Here our 2,000+ members give each other advice and support, post about missing dogs, share lively debate, fun photos and more. We also hold regular Events, and we are on Twitter @WF4Dogs.
