Community & Exercise A social club for White Rock's dogs & their people

Better walked. Better socialized. Better together.

White Rock Tails & Trails Social Club is a nonprofit built around one idea: dogs and their owners stay healthier when they move and mingle together. We host weekly hikes, lake walks, and playdates around White Rock. No experience, and no perfectly-behaved dog, required.

Why We Exist

Every pack needs more friends.

Dogs need consistent movement and steady exposure to the world to stay physically and mentally healthy, and so do their owners. We started this club because it's a lot easier to keep both promises when you're doing them with other people.

Every outing is built around the slowest nose and the newest dog in the group, so nobody gets left behind on the trail - two legs or four.

"I joined for my dog. I stayed for the group chat that's somehow 50% dog photos and 50% super fun group adventures."

What We Do

Pick your trail.

Every outing is dog-first: paced for the newest member and never longer than the shortest legs can handle.
