My wife and I live in Porter Ranch and own a wonderful male Cocker Spaniel. We frequest the nearest dog park which is located in the middle of the valley on Victory Blvd. just east of White Oak Ave. Since cockers are usally mid size we use the small/medium size park there(there is a separate park also for large dogs). We rarely see other cockers and thought someone should start a meetup for cocker owners in the San Fernando Valley. The park is maintaned fairly well by the city and there is plent …

I decided to start this group because I have small dogs, including a tiny 2.5lb Chihuahua and a Yorkie and 2 mixed rescues from Puerto Rico. Most groups are breed specific and my pack is a mixture.

So, why not start a mixed breed small dog group? They would appreciate more friends in the San Fernando Valley area. If your small d …

This is a group for anyone with a mild physical disability that would like to meet new friends. I started a group like this years ago when I was younger and the response was wonderful.

The only thing is I have a little difficulty walking and use a cane. I also have a Service Dog... so anyone with Service Dogs or use a wheelchair are welcomed. We could meet at …
