This is a group for any runners who enjoy running with their dogs! The carriage lane in Newton makes for an excellent dog jogging route. Join us for a 3-4 mile jog with your dog! All fitness levels welcome and a dog is not necessary to participate!

Would your small dog (under 15 lbs) or puppy like to play with others and get their energy out early in the day? I have a fenced in yard where all are welcome or let's share fenced-in spaces. Maybe one to two mornings per week for 30-60 minutes. Let's limit it to small and friendly dogs to minimize problems. Come meet Ziggy (my rescued min-pin/chihuahua mix) and Marley (my rescued yorkie mix) and let your dogs have some fun!

This is a group for anyone interested in getting their small breed dog together with new friends for some frolic and fun. We can meet regularly in one of the dog parks in Brookline, Brighton, and Chestnut Hill. Friendly little pups and their people are welcome to join!

Running is a sport that is enjoyed by many. If you run and enjoy running with your dog or would like to try and run with your dog in a friendly group setting, this is the group for you! I have a lab/shepherd mix who is the best running partner I have ever had. Only thing is that he is much more motivated to run with other dogs and humans. He was trained when I would bring him along on runs with friends who have dogs. This group is for runners or casual runners wanting to enjoy more time outside …

There's just something special about little white (or not so white) fluffy (or not so fluffy) dogs. It's amazing to see more than one at a time. And, I swear they recognize and love being with each other. This Meetup Group is about getting them together for some silliness, in a safe environment where they can romp and play and know they are safe from their larger cousin dogs. (We have the best and nicest human members too - so nice getting to know everyone!)

Hello! Queers and Canines is about bringing LGBT dog owners in their 20's and 30's together to hang out, socialize our dogs and get to know one another. I've had a dog for just over a year now and I love spending time with other dog owners who are just as excited about having a canine friend as I am!

Like most greyhounds, my big beautiful brindle boy, Jacoby, loves other greys immediately. I thought I'd like to let him meet other greyhounds in the area. We can walk, we can play, we can chase. And we can make new friends -- greyhound and human alike. Please note: This group is meant for greyhounds and their humans only, as greys typically get nervous around other dog breeds. We'll stick to walking in parks where the terrain isn't so bad until the winter thaws out a bit! Be sure to check out t …

My husband Justin and myself have a 1 year old Leavitt Bulldog (Olde English Bulldogge) Gus. We're interested in meeting up with other bulldog owners and setting up get togethers so the dogs can play together. We are open to suggestions on parks and fenced in areas where the dogs can play as we only know a serval good places. We called our group the Boston Burbs Bulldogs because we live in the suburbs of Boston and would like to plan the get togethers in and around that area. We look forward to …

Socialization is key during a puppy's development, but it's so hard to find other dogs in their age group outside of formal puppy socialization classes. This group was created so Boston-area puppy owners can get together with their young pups (and young children too!) to make sure that our puppies will grow up to be well-adjusted and comfortable in a variety of social situations. We can meet in local parks, or even member's yards, depending on who's interested.... It'll be fun!

This is a group for married men who are looking for new male friends to share ideas, philosophy, politics, music, bicycling, hiking, dog walking, scotch, beer, you name it. A few key items: you are happily married and talking about sports is not big on your agenda...or not on your agenda, at all:-) We'll get together to do whatever new members find interesting. Since this is a new group, we're going to ask your input as to what might interest you. Target age group: 40 to 65.

Are your kids out of the house? Are you finding that your friends that are "the parents of your kids' friends" are not what you need today?

You might enjoy drinking scotch, fine dining, dancing, cross-country skiing, dog walks, laughs, etc. You also are accepting of those who might enjoy smoking weed, or you enjoy it yourself:-) Initi …

I enjoy walking early in the morning and early evening. Since my dog passed away, I don't feel safe walking during these times alone. I'm looking for people who are interested in walking briskly with me between 6-7AM on weekdays and/or between 6-7PM on weeknights. You should be able to easily walk at least four miles within an hour.  I look forward to hearing from you!
