Our beloved canines got to participate in a fantastic 'Dogs Gone Wild' day at the beach of swimming & playing off-leash & the dog owners had the opportunity this year to participate in an organized WALK with their on-leash dogs around the lake. To begin the day, EDDOG also sponsored an organized 5K RUN — 3 laps at the lake - without dogs. Beautiful ribbons were awarded for all finishers. It was a very exciting beginning to a joyous day!

We were able to create the best day of our canine companions year but we sure needed a lot of help, and we got it! EDDOG would like to thank our generous SPONSORS, VENDORS and VOLUNTEERS who all showed up to make sure our pups and their human companions were treated to a day of sun, sand, surf and many, many tennis balls.

Enhance the Quality of Life for Your Dog and You

Be a part of the El Dorado Dog Owners Guild (EDDOG), an all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c) 3 organization dedicated to the creation of off-leash dog parks in El Dorado County, where our canine citizens can socialize and exercise in a clean, safe environment.

We organize dog owners who wish to advocate for dog parks with local governments and park departments, to fundraise, and to educate the dog-owning community about how these facilities should be used for the betterment of our canine and human residents.

El Dorado County is a great place for us and our families, and we want to enrich the lives of our canine companions by providing them off-leash, enclosed environments so they can socialize and enjoy El Dorado County as much as we do.

We invite you to learn more about us, our community, and our ongoing partnership with El Dorado County Community Services Districts to maintain a safe and healthy place for our four legged companions. Better yet, consider being a volunteer and learning why you should care. Your dog will be glad you did, and so will you.

Take Abby's Challenge in El Dorado Hills 

An EDDOG member has pledged to contribute $50 for every $100 that is donated to EDDOG for the El Dorado Hills CSD dog park — up to $2,000! (read more...)
