Calling all service dog teams! Halo Dog Training is now hosting a training group specifically for SD teams! This is a group for anyone who has a service dog (owner trained or organization trained) who is interested in meeting up with other service dog handlers.

One Brick, a national non-profit volunteer organization with two Bay Area chapters, is hosting its second annual Dog Day! The day is a great opportunity for dog and other animal lovers to come meet other dogs, their humans, and check out some local pet companies while helping One Brick raise some money to support its volunteer work. Last year was a lot of fun, and we hope you will help us make the event even better this year!

Where small, friendly dogs and their human families can get together and have fun play dates, share advice and friendship. All breeds of dogs are welcome, as long as they are friendly. This should be a great opportunity for our sweet dogs to get out and socialize with one another. I know my little girl can never get enough playtime with other dogs or people I'm thinking we could initially meet at dog parks. We could also try some walks with the small dogs who are inclined to walk. Another fun t …

Calling all those gaga for a chihuahua or other chihuahua-sized dog! My chi Lolita would like to meet some other small dogs to play and run with at Shoreline Dog Park in Mountain View. She's afraid of big dogs. We'll meet once a week or more at Shoreline in the small dog enclosure so that the dogs can play. There's a picnic table in the shade so human and dog snacks can be available.

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!

Get together with other yellow, chocolate and black lab lovers at the local dog park! We will meet once a month for one large gathering at the Reed Street dog park and then other events as the year continues.

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 is a dog friendly group for women in Palo Alto who would like to walk early weekday mornings before work and support each other to lose weight. We will do easy to moderate 2-3 mile walks at a steady pace and go faster when the group gets more fit and feels ready. I have found that having walking partners and a support group is very helpful to establish getting up and out and establish a routine. The vision for this group is to walk 3-4 times a week between 7:00-8:00 a.m. in the South Palo A …

Meet friendly Yorkies and Yorkie Owners near you! Come to our local Yorkie Meetup to run, play and discuss yorkie matters with fellow owners. Being a member means being part of our Yorkie community!

For years I was a solo backpacker who frequently ventured solo into less frequented areas. Recently I experienced a scare while doing so which made me realize how vulnerable a solo hiker off trail is. I concluded that for safety and companionship where any portion of the route is off established trails, I would prefer to hike with other independent-style backpackers. Those meetups of our group where I am part of the group will provide the partners I seek. My idea of a small group is myself, my d …

Are you stuck on a problem that needs solving? Maybe you need completely unbiased minds, brains from varied backgrounds to pump new life into finding a solution. You're not alone - we've all been there. I've started and run several successful Web and tech businesses. I alone never solved all the problems my businesses faced or came up with every great idea that advanced the businesses. What I did know was how to lead brainstorming sessions which led to the solutions we needed and were searching …

This is a group for individuals who have a shared interest in big or small theater, art, bike riding, 5k's, fine dining, foodie dining, baseball, bowling, movies, festivals, live music, volunteering or anything else interesting that may be going on in the Bay Area. I am starting this group because I don't like to do everything by myself and I would like to make some friends that share similar interests. Sometimes I may plan an event and sometimes it may be spontaneous or sometimes is may be free …

When we started several years ago, our goal was to explore Silicon Valley (aka "The Valley of Heart's Delight"), in part to show people there was more to the Bay Area than San Francisco.  Now we've visited just about every local museum from Gilroy to Santa Cruz to Millbrae, so we tend to journey farther afield for cultural/historical walks and day trips.  Our events include mundane after-work "well, it's better than just sitting on the couch" walks in local neighborhoods as well as more ambitiou …
