Scottsdale desert weather can shift quickly. Use current conditions as a planning cue, then adjust walk length, shade breaks, and water for every dog.

Test the ground
If pavement or rock is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for paws.
Carry extra water
Bring a collapsible bowl and plan more water than you think you need.
Watch body language
Heavy panting, lagging, glassy eyes, or drooling mean stop and cool down.
Use shade breaks
Short, calm breaks keep dogs safer than pushing through desert heat.

Before you RSVP
Quick answers for trail day.
Can I bring my own dog?
Yes, if your dog is comfortable around people and other dogs, leashed at all times, and able to handle the weather safely.
Is the event stroller-friendly?
Some trail surfaces may be uneven. The final event route should favor the most accessible trailhead areas when possible.
Where should I park?
Use the Lost Dog Wash Trailhead lot at 12601 N. 124th St. and watch for event signage near check-in.
What happens if it is too hot?
FDLD can shorten the route, add shade breaks, shift meetup activity toward the trailhead, or adjust timing to protect dogs.
Can I meet a specific dog?
Use the Request meetup button on that dog's card. The RSVP note will include the dog's name for volunteer follow-up.
