San Francisco Pet Cemetery at Presidio Army Base – Five Minute Tour

August 27, 2010 By Cat Herder 12 Comments

Was on my road bike and decided to make a short movie of the San Francisco Presidio Army Base pet cemetery. (Closed, now part of the Golden Gate National Park). When this was a large army base this is where military families buried their pets. I love this place, it shows a nicer side of people, those who loved their pets, treated them as family. The headstones and grave markers are getting old and weathered. But they still are cool to see. I made about a one hour movie of the entire place, about three years ago. I may post some of it later on. As you can see, the was a foggy day, very overcast. Also, that noise you hear are cars overhead on Doyle Drive, the Golden Gate Bridge on-ramp. (Cars heading north toward Santa Rosa, San Rafael, etc.) Pardon the poor camera work, I shot this with a camera mounted on my road bike. I lifted the bike to point the camera toward the headstones. People were looking and I am sure asking “What the heck is that guy doing lifting his bike around there in the cemetery.” (The camera is very small and would not be visible from the street) LOL.

A Lenexa, Kan., woman said she paid for a plot to bury her dog but six months later, there is no headstone and the owner of the pet cemetery wants to move her dog. Debbie Wagner is passionate about her pets, KMBC’s Bev Chapman reported. “Everybody loved him, and he was just a great dog,” Wagner said. When Wagner’s cocker spaniel, Hershey, was diagnosed with a liver illness six years ago, his treatment was not cheap. “I’ve spent close to 000 in six years on all my dogs,” Wagner said. Over the summer, when Hershey’s health grew worse, Wagner said she took him to choose his final resting place at a pet cemetery. Wagner said her dog picked a plot that apparently belonged to someone else, although the sales representative assured her about it. “‘Well, I think these are already sold. But the guy who bought them got transferred and he wants to sell them,'” Wagner recalled. Wagner signed the paperwork and paid 00 for three plots. She bought a casket and a headstone and arranged for a small graveside ceremony. One week later, Hershey died. A month after that, the pet cemetery called Wagner. “The owner called and said, ‘We’re going to have to move your dog.’ I was floored,” Wagner said. “After Miss Wagner’s dog was already buried, he told us he didn’t want to sell it after all,” said Nancy Piper of Rolling Acres. Piper said in 29 years and more than 4500 pets, this has never happened. Piper said she tried to contact the owner of theland on the hill where Hershey is now buried …
