Please join us for our final LI-DOG Pack Walk™ of 2020 at lovely Dix Hills Park in Huntington on Sat., Nov. 21st starting at 10:30 AM.  (Please arrive 15 minutes early, so we can start the walk on time.)

As Huntington’s largest park, Dix Hills Park covers 160 acres and includes a nine-hole golf course, skating rink and pool. We’ll be walking the Woodland Trail, a 1.9 mile loop trail through the woods that skirts the entire perimeter of the park. Please note the trail is a little hilly and while most of it is dirt, some parts can be gravely.

We anticipate the Pack Walk™ will take about an hour, but there will be opportunities to make the walk shorter for those who wish to do so.

PLEASE NOTE: Do not bring Flexi Leads as we’ll be walking in groups and people and dogs can get tangled. Also, please bring water and poop bags – as clean up is a must.

COVID-19 Precautions: Please download the LI-DOG COVID-19 Agreement and our Sign In Sheet and Liability Waiver BEFORE the Pack Walk™, sign both documents, and bring them with you to the Pack Walk. The fewer people standing around signing documents, the better!

RSVP (All RSVPs must be done on the LI-DOG Meetup Group as we need to limit attendance.)

Pet Partners World’s Largest Pet Walk

A Virtual Event

Saturday, September 26th, Any Time – Any Location

On September 26th, Pet Partners will be holding the World’s Largest Pet Walk. It is their signature fundraiser, and is open to everyone who wants to enjoy the health benefits of being active with their pets, while also supporting Pet Partners!

Join the walk! Since this is a “virtual event”, you and your pets are invited to walk at any time and location on Saturday, September 26th. Walk whatever distance and path that feels right for you and your animal.

Pet Partners is the national leader in demonstrating and promoting the health and wellness benefits of animal-assisted interventions. Their teams visit with patients in recovery, people with intellectual disabilities, seniors living with Alzheimer’s, students, veterans with PTDS and those approaching end of life–improving human health and well-being through the human-animal bond. They are considered the “gold standard” in the world because of their ongoing testing and retesting of the owner and the dog every two years.

While most people will be walking on September 26th, if this day does not work for you, pick any day in September that would work best for you and your furry friend.

There is no registration fee to walk, but please invite supporters to donate in honor of your participation using your online fundraising page. Raise at least $50 to receive a special pet bandanna! Raise $100 or more to receive the bandanna plus a commemorative event T-shirt! And super fundraisers who raise $250 or more receive all of these items, plus a Pet Partners leash.

On our Aug. 15th Pack Walk™ — a guided, group on-leash dog walk –we’ll be walking the Fire Road Trail, a flat, wide dirt trail within Massapequa Preserve. We’ll walk about a mile down the trail, then turn onto a smaller trail that ends at a clearing with a creek and shallow pond. We’ll stop there for water and let the dogs swim and wade in the shallow pond.  Once we’ve rested, we’ll head back down the trail to where we started. The entire walk will be about 2 miles and take about 2 hours.

PLEASE NOTE: While there may be off-leash dogs on the trail, dogs must be kept on leash on the LI-DOG Pack Walk™. Please don’t forget to bring poop bags as pick up is a must, and while the trail is shaded by trees, don’t forget to bring water for you and your pup.

Please NO RETRACTABLE LEASHES as we are walking in a group and the dogs and their humans can get tangled.

HOW TO FIND US: Meet us near the paved bridge at the north end of the Mansfield Park parking lot at the Walker St. Entrance. Watch out for bikes as you cross the asphalt bike path to the dirt path!

COVID-19 Precautions:  Please download the LI-DOG COVID-19 Agreement and our General Sign In Sheet and Liability Waiver  BEFORE the Pack Walk™, sign both documents, and bring them with you to the Pack Walk. The fewer people we have standing around signing documents, the better!

Does your dog like to swim? Does your dog like to socialize? Would you like to spend a morning with your pup, other dog owners and the great folks of LI-DOG for some OFF-LEASH summer fun?

Then please join us at Mud Creek Off-Leash Beach in East Patchogue on Saturday, July 18th for a couple of hours, letting our furry friends frolic in the sand and surf of the Great South Bay! There’ll be plenty of exercise to be had running along the coastline and in the water as Mud Creek is an off-leash dog beach.

A clean-up of the Mud Creek Off-Leash Beach will start at 8:30 a.m., so if you and your fur baby would like a little extra time in the sun, please join us in getting the area ready for our meetup!

PLEASE NOTE: Mud Creek has no amenities and is considered “carry-in, carry-out” (i.e. no trash receptacles, no poop bag stations, no bathrooms and no water fountains). LI-DOG will have hand sanitizer and poop bags on hand, but please help us make the event a success by remembering to bring these items. Please also remember to bring water for you and your pup and your own towel and beach chairs!

Mud Creek is a natural borders dog park, which means it is not fenced on most sides. For everyone’s safety, please only bring dogs that are well-socialized—used to playing with other dogs off-leash—and that will reliably come when called. Please: NO RETRACTABLE LEASHES.

To access the dog beach, please use the double-gate entry, walk along the fence, then turn right onto the beach as soon as the fence ends. Please keep off-leash dogs out of the area in front of the fence.

Parking is on the street. Please keep dogs on-leash until you get into the off-leash area.

COVID-19 Precautions: We are taking several steps to make sure our guests and volunteers are safe at this event.  Please download the COVID-19 Agreement and our General Sign In Sheet and Liability Waiver NOW, sign both documents, and bring them with you to the beach.  Also, please don’t forget that masks are required in accordance with NYS guidelines. Thank you for helping keep everyone safe!
