San Francisco Bay Area Pet Resources
Having a dog or cat (or both if you are so lucky) in the San Francisco Bay Area is amazing! We are fortunate to have wonderful outdoor spaces, pet friendly activities, and outstanding veterinary care. While no single list can ever include all this material, we have tried to provide you with information and links to those who might be able to answer your questions about pet care in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as ideas of things to do with your pet when they are not at Pet Camp. This list will continue to evolve, so if we have missed something, please pass it along.

It's the Law
San Francisco requires every dog over the age of four months to be licensed. Licenses are valid for one, two, or three years depending on your dog’s rabies vaccine (the license lasts as long as the rabies vaccine is valid). The cost of the license is reduced for spayed/neutered dogs and if the pet parent is a senior citizen. You can purchase a dog license online from San Francisco Animal Care and Control.
The only legally required vaccine in San Francisco is the rabies vaccine for dogs over 4 months of age.
There are a number of other animal laws in San Francisco, but most of them don’t apply to the average pet parent (not that you are average).
Getting a Pet
San Francisco has an amazing assortment of rescue partners that work alongside San Francisco Animal Care and Control. San Francisco Animal Care and Control has dogs, cats, birds, rodents and other “smalls.” San Francisco SPCA has dogs and cats. Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, as its name implies, focuses on senior dogs. In addition to these larger organizations, there are many breed-specific dog rescue groups and species-specific pet rescue groups throughout Northern California.
Dog Parks & Walks
San Francisco has an amazing amount of official off-leash dog parks. You can get the full list from the San Francisco Department of Parks and Recreation. The largest off leash dog parks are Mclaren Park, Fort Funston (part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area), and the dog park in Golden Gate Park.
There are also unlimited places to walk a dog. You can stroll a neighborhood or promenade on the Embarcadero.
