SF Bay Area basenji meetup
-
This happens once a month at Pt. Isabel, a large, off-leash dog park. I don't always get to make it, but I try to take lots of pictures when I do!

Beautiful dogs and park! I wish ours was pretty like that

dmey, there's got to be a way to network amongst other Basenji owners on the island and see if you can form a meetup group! Local dog shows? Postings at local dog parks? Community online message boards?
I definitely feel lucky (and spoiled) to have so many wonderful dog parks in the area. I have the choice of… at least a dozen off-leash dog parks within a 30 minute driving range. And that's only counting the ones that we've been to! At least four of them are as gorgeous as this one, overlooking the Bay.
Driving in my city today, I spotted yet ANOTHER basenji that was not at the meetup and whom I've never seen before. Would've pulled up to say hi to her person if they weren't walking alongside a busy street...

Beautiful pictures :)

Tanza, I would be shocked if that happened. I don't know specifically about what's happening at Ft. Funston, as we don't get to go on that side of the bay as often (parks under the jurisdiction of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area), but there has been a LOT of petition activity circulating to preserve East Bay sites that are currently in danger of having off-leash privileges revoked. Here's one page that has a link to the petition:
And here's a couple more, including an FB page:

Taking my friend's Husky to Ft. Funston is my best memory of a trip to SF! I thought it was canine paradise on earth, I do hope it stays off-leash. If it were in Florida, it would have been condos long ago…..no dogs allowed.
Good luck with the petitions.
