EVENTS
Hike - From the Greek to the Cedar Grove
We will be meeting at the Vermont Canyon Play Area near the Greek Theatre. There is a small parking lot there by the play area, but if that’s full you’ll likely be able to park in the lots just north of the Greek Theatre. From there we will make our way up Commonwealth to work our way over to the lovely Cedar Grove. Distance will likely be between 2.25-2.5 miles and we anticipate it taking about 2 hours.
As always, honorary corgis and hoomans with no doggos are welcome to join us! Can’t wait to close out the year with a fantastic new holiday hike — we’ll see y’all on the trail!
Community Ranch Project Day
As we approach fire and foxtail season, our Community Days will shift focus to cleaning up the weeds and foxtails from all yards. Our dogs have varying levels of reactivity, bite histories, and sensitivities to human touch. To ensure safety, all dogs will be muzzled for the duration of the community day. If interested in joining us, please fill out a volunteer application and RSVP by email to volunteer@qbsdr.org.
Race for the Rescues - Pasadena Rose Bowl
SAVE THE DATE!
On Saturday, November 15th the QBSDR Stumpy Squad will be participating in the 2025 Race for Rescues. This race allows rescues from all over California to come together to raise money and support each other. We will be participating in the the 5k walk/run with doggos, but you are welcome to sign up for the 1k walk, the 10k walk/run or even as a “couch potato” that is a virtual part of our team (which means you can fundraise to support us from almost anywhere!). We will also have an informational booth set up to chat with other rescues, supporters and just generally educate the public that we exist and are ready to help whoever needs us!

Hike at Griffith Park - Ferndell Trail (easy - great for seniors!)
Come meet us at Griffith Park for a nice, easy 2 mile pack walk! Honorary corgis (aka non-corgis) and humans with no doggos are welcome to join us as well.

We do suggest utilizing a muzzle if there is a chance your dog might harm another animal or human. If you need assistance with muzzle training prior to attending, don’t hesitate to reach out via email at info@qbsdr.org. If you or your dog are not used to be being around reactive dogs, please be mindful and give them space to work while we walk.
Meet us in the middle of the oval parking lot at 9am. We will wait a few minutes for everyone to park and get settled before heading to the trail head around 9:15 am. Regarding the trail itself, there is a slight incline at the start, but we take it slow so it’s perfect for seniors or those with mobility issues. If you or your corgi are unable to walk the incline, you can join the pack after the incline if you wait for us on the trail to the right of stop sign that is shown below.
If you’ve ever considered fostering or volunteering, our hikes are a great way to learn more in person about our doggos and what we need help with most.
Bring comfy shoes and water for you and your doggo. See you on the trail!
**If a hike must be cancelled for any reason, we will announce it on our social media so make certain you are following us on FB & Instagram.**

Walk-a-Stumper at Vasquez Rocks
Come explore the scenic Vasquez Rocks that have been used in so many movies and tv shows with us! This location is fairly close to the ranch so we would LOVE help from the community with walking some of the QBSDR doggos that are in much need of an adventure! If you would like to walk a QBSDR dog, please send us an email at volunteer@qbsdr.org so we can make certain to bring enough dogs for everyone.
We will also be celebrating alumni Rosie’s bark day so definitely join us for this amazing pack hike if you can and show her some love and support!
Because this area doesn't have any shade, be certain to bring plenty of water, sunglasses, and hats for the hoomans and any hiking gear you use for your doggo (booties, swamp cooler vest, etc). We will be parking in the area directly next to the big rock formation not at the visitor center - see the pin below for exact location.
If the weather is too hot, we might start earlier so make certain to follow us on social media for any announcements!

NorCal hike with Alumni MJ & Rozy - Redwood Bowl
Join Alumni MJ & Rozy and their human room mates for our first ever QBSDR NorCal Pack Walk at Redwood Bowl. We will be walking a loop of the Graham Trail and Roberts Ridge Trail. Park in the parking garage southeast of Chabot Space & Science Center and meet at the paved clearing circled in orange, street-view shown below. This will be a one-mile walk on a partially paved, partial dirt path and we anticipate it taking about an hour. Note that there is a small hill to get down to the trail from the parking area, and a section in the middle with 15% grade. Seniors and others with mobility issues can opt to wait at the picnic area to skip the steeper portion. For any questions, please email foster@qbsdr.org.
Hike Old Zoo Loop at Griffith Park
THE TRAIL:
Join for us for a hike that we’ve not done in quite some time! This trail will be a choose-your-own-adventure type of trail as not all parts are ADA accessible. The plan is to hike the Lower Old Zoo Loop from the parking lot together (red path below) which is ADA accessible for about 25 minutes to get to the Old Zoo. There we will take a group photo, chat, socialize and explore the Old Zoo a little bit.
For the return trip, you will have two options:
1) Return via the same Lower Old Zoo Loop (red path)
2) Return via the Upper Old Zoo Loop (purple path) that presents a bit more a challenge via stairs and incline (approximately 35 minutes).
We think this will be a fun departure from the normal Ferndell trail and will allow some of the pups (and their hoomans) to burn some additional energy. As always, honorary corgis and hoomans without pups are always welcome to join as well. We look forward to seeing y’all on the trail!
ADA accessible red path (~25 minutes). Purple path non-ADA includes stairs and incline (~35 minutes)
PARKING:
We will be parking near the Old Zoo Loop Trailhead in the Griffith Park Merry Go Round - Lot One. See pin drop below:
