Welcome to DogsAreUs.org, the passionate hub for dog lovers and walkers who believe every tail wag deserves an open trail. Founded in November 2025 by a group of Brookline residents, we're a pack amplifying the joys of canine companionship amid barriers to public green spaces—while fostering community cohesiveness, understanding, and harmony for all.

Our mission? Celebrate human-hound bonds through stories, tips, and meetups, plus free training for children and adults afraid of dogs to conquer fears with empathy and confidence. We're good stewards too: Encouraging all dog owners to pick up their pets (an others’ pets too when noticed) in good faith, building trust and unity in the community.

And we're in the fight: Founding members lead legal action against the town of Brookline, MA (view the lawsuit and the petition) to reopen Hall's Pond Sanctuary, to again allow peaceful walks through our beloved Sanctuary and safe transit into Amory Park while construction blocks other routes.

Why Dogs? They teach unconditional love and living in the moment. Let's fetch a brighter, kinder future—paws up!
