We will also post other dog related events as a courtesy. Happy Hiking!

I love dogs! Actually, I love cats, too. In fact, I love animals. Dogs are just so easy to love, but they need special attention and some dogs need more activity than we can give them. I'd like to offer a venue for people to spend time with their furry friends and meet some others people, too. Hiking with our dogs benefits all of us. We'll try to invite a trainer now and then, and make it fun! See you on the trail. Tail wags and belly rubs, Debbie Barnett

The Outlaws are a group of nature-loving outdoor folks who insist on bringing their dogs along. Why hike if I can't bring my dog? is our question.

Weekend hiking with the canine companion(s) and socializing with other hikers in the community. One doesn't have to be a dog owner to be a member; just someone who likes hanging around dogs and the outdoors. Since I'm still learning the area, I will be posting dog-friendly hiking trails from www.bahiker.com, but other suggestions are welcome and encouraged. My partner and I have a senior Corgi, so most hikes will be low-key and fall within beginner-to-intermediate levels. The majority of the hi …

We like to do afternoon walks/urban hikes mostly on week-ends and then go to happy hour. Walks usually start at 12 or 1 at a public transporation friendly starting point and end around 5 or 6 in time for happy hour.  Happy hour is optional and non-drinkers are welcome.  Some of our walks are dog friendly and when possible we will try to find a dog friendly happy hour.  Sometimes, we just go to happy hour or a wine bar.  We also like movies/films and we may schedule some film events as well.

Let's face it, we all could use more playtime, whether you're a dog or human, and our dogs can never get too much socialization and exercise.  It's in their nature to want to be social, and more active they are, healthier they will be (mentally and physically), same goes for us humans!  :) This group will meet regularly, dedicated to doing fun hikes or long walks in beautiful locations all around in and around San Francisco Bay Area. The goal is to have a regular calendar of events going so the …

In December 2011, I was sitting in a three-day, 13-hours-a-day Landmark Education self-improvement seminar in San Francisco, and all I could think about was escaping through one of the hermetically sealed windows and making a dash for Nob Hill, the only thing resembling a steep incline in the area. It was during the dinner break during the final day of the seminar that I conspired with Paul Schutzman and Mai-Ling Garcia -- two of the very cool people with whom I'd made a connection during our th …

Get out and explore...with your dog. This group is for active dog owners who enjoy the outdoors as much as their pooches and don't want to leave them behind. We're about hiking, kayaking, Mtn. Biking, day/weekend trips, snowshoeing, XC skiing, social events, and last but not least training.

Want to get out and socialize, but feel guilty leaving the pooch behind? How about a friendly environment where we can have fun while letting our best friends have fun at the same time!? We'll have dog walks, doggie play dates, dinners or game nights in dog-friendly homes and locations, etc. Your ideas are welcome! This is a new group, but it seems that there must be plenty of queer-identified dog lovers around to make this a success. Join now and let's get it rolling!

This group is tailor-made for dog-owning queers in the East Bay! We will meet at dog parks, go for hikes with our pups, and get together for other social activities where doggies are always welcome! Please note: I'm fairly new to the area, so suggestions for meetup locations are MUCH appreciated!

Parenting can be tough...especially with an active pooch in the house as well. This group is for moms and dads who are interested in meeting up for walks/hikes with their kids AND their dogs. It's a great opportunity to meet other parents of two-legged and four-legged loved ones and exercise that doggy that may need a little extra time and TLC since baby came along. This group is Bay Area based but more specifically the East Bay. Some of the walks/hikes may be off-road types so a jogging type st …

This group is for people who live near Ocean Beach or in the western part of the City or who would like to meetup or attend events in this area.
