SAN FRANCISCO DOG EVENTS


May 18th, 2024 - Pawrents Walk



Enjoy a beautiful 2 miles flat walk around Crissy Field and meet other dog lovers ❤️ people without dogs are welcome too. Exact meet up location will be announced that week.


Come with a friend or solo; so many people came to Pawrents events solo and left with a new group of friends.


May 19th, 2024 -  Bay to Breakers Picnic

San Francisco’s craziest foot race is back! We’re going to have a picnic in the panhandle where we can eat, drink and watch all the runners in their wildest costumes (or no clothes at all🙈)


May 15th, 2024 - 7k Bootcamp Run


Come tear up the streets of San Francisco Wednesday evening with Midnight Runners. Our bootcamp style run allows everyone to challenge themselves to their own limits. We will run roughly 1 mile and then regroup for an exercise before taking off again! All paces are welcome; however, you should be comfortable running 4 miles. No one is left behind. The run is totally free, just bring some good vibes. 


Join us for a Friday night Party Run, as we cover ourselves in more glitter, lights, and festive attire than this city has ever seen on a running community ✨ To celebrate, we will be heading to the Marina for a scenic Bootcamp 5k, taking in the beauty of this place we call home 🌅 As the motto goes, Midnight Runners is Never Just Running, so the festivities will continue after the run back at Jaxson (and who knows where people will end up after that) 🤠 

Another SF summer, another season of free outdoor movie nights! From sing-alongs, to car chases, to family-friendly hits, we’ve got something for everyone! Each event will also feature local food trucks and themed pre-show entertainment. The entire series is free and open to the public but moviegoers are encouraged to head to the links in our bios to RSVP for a chance to win special prizes at each movie night, and become an SF Parks Alliance member to secure reserved seating🙌

May 18th, 2024 - Mobile Vaccine Clinic

Our Mobile Vaccine Clinic offers no-cost preventative veterinary services to help families provide for their pets and ensure that animals remain in their loving homes. NOTE: I have volunteered here and the clinic is well run. Make sure to get there early - the wait can be up to 2 hours.


Our Bulldog Meetup Group meets at Crissy Field monthly to socialize our dogs and ourselves. It's a great opportunity to meet new people and new dogs. With the growing popularity of the breed, we get a lot of people who come out just to meet others and ask questions about being a bulldog owner, etc.


Join us in the Marketplace for a ‘Ferry Family Day’ of gift making for Mothers and Mother Figures! Create beautiful pop-up cards, jewelry, and flower crafts.

Find the activity table by Cholita Linda and Delica in the central Marketplace.

This event is free and open to the public.

SOUTH BAY DOG EVENTS


Casual walk to stretch out the legs for both your and your pups after a long day at work (or snoozing in bed). This pack walk welcomes dogs with various temperaments including mild dog reactivity for you as an owner to work on advocating for your dog's space and boundaries while helping them build confidence around other dogs.


This Pack Walk is ~ 3.0 miles in length on a flat Paved Surface offering little shade, but drinking fountains in two places.

GSDs one year or younger are encouraged to turn around at the 1/2 mile mark to prevent damage to developing bones, joints and muscles of the pups!


Busy weekends or just want to get your pup out for a mid-week stroll with other small dogs? Join us for a short walk in the San Jose (Willow Glen) area.

The walk is simply a way for our dogs to warm up to one another and put their energy to good use.
