SAN FRANCISCO DOG EVENTS


April 27th, 2024 - Dog Fest 2024




DogFest is a celebration of dogs, families, community, and spring in San Francisco. Itā€™s also a charitable event that raises funds for McKinley Elementary ā€“ a small public school in the neighborhood.

DogFest attendees can expect nonstop fun and games. The park fills with carnival-style games staffed by McKinley students, while at the top end jumping castles keep the little ones busy. Dogs are the star of the event, of course, with a daylong show and contest. Food trucks ensure that everyone is well fed, while the book fair, merchant stalls, and the doggie adoption zone provide wonderful ways to support the community.



Please come meet the adorable mutts of Muttville at our weekly adoption event! You just might find your new best friend!

Drop by anytime between 11am and 2pm on Saturday. And if youā€™ve already got your eye on one of the available mutts on our website, please fill in an application and let us know by emailing adoptions@muttville.org. Weā€™ll do our best to make sure that mutt will be there to meet you!


We will meet at the top of the hill at 11:30 AM - we stay and socialize for about an hour and then take a walk sometime between 12:15 and 12:30 depending on how many Shih Tzus and people are there.


We are thrilled to announce that we are back again for a super special Spring market with all of our favorite local makers. Enjoy a day outside with the pups and kids! Come hang out all day long as we support our local Norcal artisans.


April 27th, 2024 - Dog Days

Weā€™re inviting all dog lovers and pup parents to Oracle Park for a PAW-SOME day.

Partial proceeds from each special event ticket will benefit the SF SPCA.

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.


April 27th, 2024 - Parade for Paws

Big dogs, small dogs. And their people owners too. All dressed up in fun crazy costumes to show off to the crowd and win prizes.

The cost to participate is $25. Consider making a donation and you (and your dog) will be listed as a sponsor on the event banner!
