Furry Family Members ​of Mission Terrace

Coyote spotting? Know how to protect your dog.

PicturePhoto from Balboa Park Coyote spotting in 2017
Coyotes are part of the ecosystem here in San Francisco, and it's not uncommon for them to be seen traveling between larger parks, such as McLaren Park and Glen Park just to the east and northwest of Mission Terrace. This story in SFGate talks about their history and the reasons behind coyote policies in our city.  Here is further information from SF's Animal Care & Control, about how what to do when you see a coyote. 
  • Do NOT let your dog interact with a coyote.
  • Never turn your back on a coyote or run from a coyote.
  • If you encounter a coyote, shout, wave your arms, throw small rocks. The goal is to appear threatening to frighten the coyote away, not to injure it. It is unlawful to harass or injure coyotes.
  • Carry a cane/stick, an air horn or a whistle with you on walks to frighten a coyote away.
  • Never let a coyote come between you and your child or pet.
Don't panic neighbors, but do stay alert. (Additional photo & video from 2017 can be found on our News page.)

There are now dispensers with plastic bags at the doggie area at Balboa Park. If you're a dog owner/walker please feel free to use them. If you are a friend or neighbor with extra bags, please help keep the dispensers stocked. Thanks to Peter Smith who shared this good news on May 2nd.



Responsible Dog Guardians

PicturePrudence, Monty, & Maggie
There has been a regular crew at Balboa Park for many years, and a general rule, work together to ensure a safe and clean area for humans and canines to gather and have fun together.

Here is neighbor Prudence Hull with her dogs Monty and Maggie. She not only is a responsible dog guardian, but also cares for the park, taking time to clean the street drains along Balboa Triangle dog play area. 

Woof!  That's a good looking bunch!
