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.
