Mission Statement
Fort Greene Park Users and Pets Society (PUPS) serves dog owners who use Brooklyn's Fort Greene Park on a regular basis. We do this through education about Fort Greene Park and our responsibility as daily visitors, advocacy for our canine companions, promoting the benefits of off-leash exercise, and providing opportunities for social connection with neighbors in our community.
