This Meetup Group is for giant breed dogs and their owners to socialize and share tips, stories, and community with one another. Only we know what it is like to have the "Is that a pony" question asked over and over and over and .... This will be a group where you won't have to hear that question (or any mention of saddles).

Greyhound Meetup There are so few organized social groups for rescued greyhounds and their owners in NJ. That is why I wanted to start this group. Greyhounds can socialize with each other in relaxed environments such as beaches, parks, or other appropriate venues. I think rescued greyhounds should interact with other greyhounds as often as possible. I take my greyhound out to beaches and parks often, but I rarely see other greyhounds in the parks and on the beaches. Let's help our pets make new …

Are you looking for fun ways to socialize your pup while meeting new people who share a reward based training philosophy? This is a group for dog owners of all breeds, many of whom may face discrimination based on breed, disability. size, or reactivity: the “Underdogs”. Our group’s mission was initially focused on educating the public in an effort to combat the negative perceptions that are wrongly associated with pit bull-type dogs. However, it soon became obvious that dogs are subject to discr …

Every rescued dog is a success story, and this group can be a place to share your dog's own story while meeting other people who have made the same commitment to saving an animal from a shelter, the streets, or any other bad situation. Join us for a casual leashed walk around Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Since many people are kind enough to adopt dogs with behavioral issues, this isn't a playgroup, but rather a low-key pack walk. Our walks generally last 1.5 hours, and may involve some hills and/o …

I am looking for interest in a all jack russell play date. I have a large indoor space where i work and I also live near two dog parks.

Let me know if this appeals and I can work to set up the venue possibilities!

While it's nice to make the trek into Manhattan... sometimes it's nice to just stay local and take advantage of all the parks and dog runs we have in Brooklyn. Plus, I don't know about you but gearing up my pooch Ralfie and packing up his goodies can be quite an ordeal... especially if you have to bridge or tunnel into the city! Ralfie and I would love to meet up with other Brooklyn corgis and corgi owners. We can meetup once a month (or play it by ear) to let our pooches have some fun together.
