We the undersigned have one goal - to establish and maintain an off-leash "Dog Beach" in the city of Oceanside at the mouth of the San Luis Rey River.

FODB is a VOLUNTEER group of dedicated dog owners, their friends and supporters who are wage earning, business-owning, tax-paying homeowners looking for equality in the recreation venue. It is our belief that we should be allowed a place to recreate with our licensed dogs on the beach.

The City of Oceanside, California maintains over 40 community attractions. Just as the soccer players, tennis buffs, golfers, softball players or in-line hockey skaters have areas maintained by the city, the forty-thousand (estimated) dog owners of Oceanside who pay taxes as well as license fees, should be able to have an area that they too can enjoy.

We feel that a dog beach will enrich the overall quality of life in our community as well as benefit the local economy. Our volunteers will offer their time and energy to keep the beach a clean and safe place for dogs and dog lovers to interact.
