To all the small dogs and their owners out there in Brooklyn, I'm hoping to start a group so my Shih-tzu Charlie can meet other little dogs. He tends to be very shy, but interested in other dogs, and I'm hoping this could help him out of his shell a little. He is quirky, sweet and quiet, and so hopefully he'll make a few friends through this!

This group is for well socialized small dogs of all breeds up to 12 pounds. The meet-ups will be held in in-door spaces of doggy day care centers. We will have open space to play for the dogs and dog snacks and people snacks. There will be drawings for prizes at each meet-up.

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). And it is especially rough here in NYC where a large breed dog tops out at 45 pounds. We will be based in Brooklyn, and I imagine initially at least, will be mostly mee …

Living in an apartment with a dog is often a challenge, especially when that dog was bred to run full tilt for 12 hours a day!
