Volunteer
The Barkyard is a volunteer organization, supported by a Board of Directors, committee members and event staff. Volunteer opportunities are available in a variety of areas.
Buffalo Off Leash Area, Inc. (BuffOLA) Committees:

Volunteers may also help with:
- PUP (Pick Up Poop) Days

The move to our permanent site in LaSalle Park will require as many volunteer laborers as possible. Experienced contractors, as well as anyone willing to contribute some hands-on labor, should contact The Barkyard to express interest in volunteering.
In addition to event-related and construction volunteers, ongoing long-term volunteers are needed to help with dog-park education and awareness. By educating park visitors about the rules, we hope to maintain a safe, enjoyable off-leash area which enhances LaSalle Park’s natural beauty.
