Love on a Leash®

Established in 2001, the North San Diego County chapter of Love on a Leash is our largest active chapter. The chapter coordinates multiple group visits each month at senior living facilities, hospitals, schools and libraries in North San Diego County; many members visit additional sites independently. We also participate in community events and have a special connection with Wounded Warriors at Camp Pendleton.

Susie Blake has been an active volunteer with Love on a Leash® since 2005, beginning with her black Labrador Retriever, Joey, who passed away in 2016; she continued visits with her Long-Haired Dachshund, Lily, and her Golden Retriever, Duke. Today, she honors their legacies through visits with her MaltiPoo, Launi. Susie serves on the national board of directors as Membership Chair and is passionate about Love on a Leash.
