About LHS

Our Mission

The Lincoln Hound Society is a group of conscientious dog owners who promote responsible dog ownership, community involvement, and the formation of sanctioned dog parks in the City of San José and surrounding areas.

We support family oriented, neighborhood based, free-roam dog exercise areas for responsible dog owners. We lead by example through conscientious pet ownership, outreach to other community groups, and coordination with local officials.

Our Goals

Sanctioned free-roam dog activities for responsible dog owners
Education to encourage responsible dog ownership and better dog-human relations
Opportunities for dogs — and their humans — to socialize in a safe, open air environment
Coordination with local civic agencies including the City of San José Department of Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services, San José Unified School District, and Animal Care Services
Neighborhood investment through outreach and support of community projects
Support for pets in unexpected times of need
