Lost Dog Trail & Rescue Runners 915

Join us for a meaningful morning at the Lost Dog Nature Preserve, where outdoor recreation meets community connection and conservation.  This trip includes a special partnership with Rescue Runners 915, a local nonprofit that helps shelter dogs get exercise, enrichment, and visibility outside the shelter environment. Eligible participants will be paired with a shelter dog to walk during the hike, supporting both physical activity and socialization for these pups. Participants will hike approximately two miles through the Lost Dog Nature Preserve, a protected area stewarded by Frontera Land Alliance. Along the way, we’ll learn about the importance of conserving natural spaces within urban environments and how protected trails contribute to ecological health and community well-being. Distance: ~2 miles (loop trail) Duration: ~2 hours Difficulty: Moderate Best for: Adults Bring: Sturdy walking shoes, water, sun protection, and a small backpack Important: Participants must be 18 years or older to be assigned a shelter dog.  No personal pets allowed to ensure the safety of shelter dogs, one dog per vehicle. All dog-handling guidelines provided by Rescue Runners 915 must be followed. Trip Lead: Katalina Salas, Co-Lead: Pam Almodovar, Contact: 915-497-6961
