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 …

The purpose of this group is to provide socialization and play time for small dogs under 12 pounds in a safe indoor venue. We will meet periodically in various Dog Day care Centers around Manhattan. This group is a play group only that is geared toward the shy dog who needs to gain socialization skills, active dogs who need more play time with other dogs, puppies who need to learn to play with other dogs and owners who wish to socialize their dogs and meet with other dog owners.

My wife and I are from NY, but just moved to Long Island City near the water. We live a couple of blocks from the dog park on Vernon. We thought it might be easier to schedule meetups so that our dogs could play with lots of other dogs in the area. Well really just one dog because our 1 year old Jack Russell/Daschund mix constantly wants to play and our maltese likes to sleep/eat all day. The other main reason for this group is my wife and I are both in marketing but we have different schedules. …

I noticed that while there are a ton of groups in Manhattan for small dog owners to get together with and without their pets, there aren't any for us big dog owners. I live on the UWS, am single, and have the world's most playful 6 year old chocolate lab.... I'd love to meet likeminded people also with big dogs for playgroups and fun. Perhaps we can meet on Saturday or Sunday mornings in Central Park, or organize fun runs, or just generally mix and mingle with our awesome dogs.... So, if you hav …
