Welcome to the new Marin Pet Care Association website!

Founded originally as Dog Walkers of Marin (DWOM) in the early 2000s, our association has a rich history of advocacy and dedication to preserving off-leash recreation for dogs in Marin County. What began as a response to a proposed ordinance by the Marin County Open Space District (MCOSD) quickly evolved into a passionate effort to protect the rights of dog owners and their furry companions.

Over the years, our association has remained vigilant in our mission, addressing challenges and advocating for the interests of pet owners and their beloved companions. We've navigated through permit renewals, regulatory changes, and ongoing dialogue with MCOSD to establish guidelines that promote safe and enjoyable experiences for all.

Today, the Marin Pet Care Association continues to be a voice for responsible pet ownership and advocates for the preservation of open spaces for recreational activities. We invite you to explore our website, learn about our history, and discover valuable resources for pet care and outdoor recreation.

Thank you for joining us in our commitment to the well-being of our furry friends and the preservation of Marin County's natural beauty.
