We organize fun and adventurous outings for dogs and their owners in the San Francisco Bay Area. Currently most of our hikes are in the South Bay Area. We occasionally offer walks in the afternoon and/or evenings and training sessions with a dog trainer. Our sponsors are businesses that offer their free time to organize hikes, walks and other fun outings for you and your dog. We are solely run by volunteers. We will also post other dog related events as a courtesy.   Happy Hiking!

I love Pugs and believe they are most "fun" and "funny" of any dog breed. Every day my Pugs make me laugh with something they do. I noticed that there are many Pug parents in the Santa Cruz area and thought it would be great to start a local group. I have one year old Pugs, Bella (a fawn) and Lola (black). I also have twin 11 year old boys. Everything comes in twos in our home... I look forward to meeting up with other Pug Parents and their Pugs at locations that will be safe and fun.

If you take your IG out a lot (as we all do), you probably hear from people that "Oh! Yeah, I saw one of these the other day." You wonder to yourself, "Where are all these IG's?" So, let's get them together. There are meetups in the north bay but none in the south, and CA IG rescue has confirmed that many many dogs are adopted in the South Bay, so I think we have the potential to get many dogs! Note: I prefer not to charge membership dues, however donations are welcome (info@jlevisw.com is my …

This should be a great opportunity for our sweet dogs to get out and socialize with one another.
