Santa Clara County
Santa Clara County is the center of the world's tech industry but includes miles of rural beauty and agriculture. And it is very, very dog-friendly. It includes the communities of Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Palo Alto, San Jose, Santa Clara, Saratoga, and Sunnyvale.
The canine epicenter of Santa Clara County is also the garlic capital of the world. Check out dog-passionate Gilroy, a small town away from the city with delicious food, fun for the kids and dogs, shops galore and as many outdoor adventures as you can handle.
