Who doesn't need more active, animal loving women in their lives for hiking, biking and hanging out?   Email me suggestions (and a date and time that work for you) and I'll set up an invite. Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly to both humans and other animals on AND off leash.  This is a hiking group designed to be stress free for humans and animals alike. Owners who bring dogs that repeatedly exhibit aggressive behavior on any given hike will be asked to walk separately from the group …

Beagles by the Bay was founded when I adopted my very own beagle girl, Cora. At 4 years old, Cora had already lived with 3 other families. I want Cora to have the best life possible, and socializing with other beagles is fun! This group was created as an outlet for beagles and beagle lovers to meet and socialize, and let the beagles play with their own kind! We are very dedicated to beagle rescue, and hope this can provide another platform for those of you looking to add to your fur family or t …

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

Weekend hiking with the canine companion(s) and socializing with other hikers in the community.
