A petition to Arlington County Zoning Administrator and Arlington County Board to allow the opening of Wag More Dogs, a daycare, boarding and grooming facility on the Shirlington Dog park at the Oxford Street, middle entrance. We have been denied opening due to lack of parking although we always have at least 4-5 open spaces directly in-front of our location. We will bring upscale dog services for dogs and their owners in a convenient location. In addition, we will provide outdoor lighting for the Shirlington dog park adjacent to our building.

The bureaucratic hurdles remain frustratingly high despite the clear evidence that our parking situation works. I spend my days tracking down officials who prefer silence over addressing the obvious logic of our proposal. This process is exhausting but I am not walking away from our goal.

SHIRLINTON NEEDS THIS!! Lighting the park would be a huge help for those of us who go after work.

Super excited for this place to open. The area really needs more dog services and the park lighting would be awesome.

Quit blocking progress. They have the space and we need the services.

Ridiculous red tape keeping a local business from helping us out. Just let them run the shop.

The parking argument is total nonsense. There are always spots there. Just let them open already.

This would be so convenient for me since I drop my dog off at the park anyway. Please let them open.
