Featured Palo Alto Dog Friendly Homes of the Week

March 1, 2008 · No Comments

355 Channing Avenue

355 Channing is a beautiful, two story single family home in Channing Park. It is less than four years old and looks like the owner has hardly lived in it. The downstairs has lovely hardwood floors which makes cleaning so much easier when there are dirty paws. The home is walking distance to downtown Palo Alto and the best part is that it has two small parks on either side where dogs are allowed on leash. After a long day at the office, having a park a few steps away where you can take Fido is worth its weight in gold. There is also a legal rental unit in back with its own parking space.

A few steps away at 325 Channing is a townhome which backs up to a park where dogs are allowed on leash. It has Walnut hardwood flooring downstairs and a gourmet granite kitchen. With a location that is walking distance to downtown and local parks, this unit makes a good dog friendly home.

Got a water dog?

Lake Lagunita Palo Alto

Lake Lagunita is the perfect place to take your water dog to romp. Seemingly overnight Lake Lagunita transformed from a dry lake with a puddle of water in the middle to a full sized lake. Yesterday when I was there a family was out in a row boat enjoying a ride around the lake. At about 5:00 pm it was as if a silent Lab call went out because people with their Labs started streaming to the lake from every direction. The dogs were delighted. They charged into the water, chased each other on the shore and ran after the Canadian geese clustered at the edge of the lake. It was a scene of pure joy.

I am not sure how long the water will last after the rain stops so now is a good time to take your dog for a water adventure. Parking is free on the weekends and after 4pm during the week.
