I am looking to build a friendly group of Westie Lovers and the dogs they love. As a new group I will encourage member participation for input on venues and criteria. As for now as a fledgling group I am just going to focus on membership. What I hope to build is a solid network of people and the west highland terrier breed they fancy. Socialization of our members and the people they own! We will share training tips and better ideas to make our little dogs healthy and happy. I have loved animals …

We are a 501(c)3, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and rehoming of mature dogs and cats age 5 years old and older. It all began with a group of people who loved animals. But in particular, the older animals. Dogs who had a little grey around the muzzle, but whose hearts were young and whose love knew no bounds. Cats who lounged around, pretending to be hard of hearing, until the whir of the can-opener proved otherwise. These animals had once been loved, cherished, and part o …

I started this meetup for bulldog owners and lovers in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area to chat online and to hopefully create some regularly scheduled meet and greets - social times for the owners and their beloved bullies!

Welcome to the Milwaukee Area Boston Terrier Group!! Founded for the purpose for Boston Terrier enthusiasts to spend some fun and quality time together socializing their Boston Terriers. It's a play group! Also, we are charitable minded, so we like to support local animal rescues and humane causes. I look forward to seeing you, Jana

Looking to meet other rat terriers and their fans? Then come join the pack. Similar dogs are welcome, too!

This group was started because we've found that although he may have his "guy friends" and she may have her "girl friends", it's nice to hang out as couples sometimes too.  Maybe you're new to the area or you're finding it harder to get together with friends due to family obligations or what not - whatever the reason, this group is a perfect place to meet new, normal, fun people who love to laugh and have a good time.  This group is geared towards those in their twenties/thirties. Here's a sampl …

Best Friends Pet Care has started this group to give our camp parents and their furry kids a safe environment to play and make new friends. We offer dog camp during the week and on Saturdays for the dogs to play without their parents! Our goal with this meetup is to give more dog parents a fun and safe place to meet other social dogs and their families in the area. You do not need to be a member of our camp program to join the meetup.

We started this group to be able to leisurely explore the Parks and Forest Preserves in the Fox River Valley Area with our pug mixes - Guinness & Dunkel and other dogs while socializing with their owners for about an hour. We have walks on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons in winter (weather permitting).  We also offer walks on weeknights and weekends in the Fox River Valley Area during spring, summer and autumn. The walks are usually scheduled within Kane County Forest Preserves, parks an …

Best Friends Pet Care started this FREE puppy playgroup to encourage socialization in a group setting. Bring your puppy to play with others every Saturday from 10am to 11am. Parents are required to supervise along with trained staff.

This group was created to get the word out about events supporting the health and well-being of animals, Chicagoland shelters & rescues, and Chicagoland park preservation efforts. Most of the meetups are philanthropic in nature but we'll also be meeting up for pup friendly picnics, walks, and play dates at dog friendly parks. If you have a passion for improving the lives of animals in your community or if you're looking for fellow animal lovers to hang out with on a pretty day we’d love to meet …

I recently relocated to Illinois from San Antonio, Tx, home of the largest dog walking meet up group in the USA. I was very disappointed when I was unable to find an active dog walking group in this area and decided to start one. Anyone who loves to hike and loves their dog will enjoy this group. The plan is to explore the area's state parks with our 4 legged friends!

We will be hosting a Small Dog Play Group at Bay View Bark the first Sunday of the month from 2pm-4pm. There will be a discounted Dog Park fee of $4. This is a great opportunity for your small dog to get some play time and help us socialize our foster dogs.

Calling all Rottweiler owners! This is a group for anyone interested in meeting up with our Rottweilers for a walk in the park or other activities in the Chicagoloand area. This group is sponsored by True Hearts of Rottweiler Rescue (THORR).

Just an informal get together for both animal and human socialization during the day .... visit local dog parks, country hikes, etc. Open to time(s) and place(s)!!!

Looking to meet new people in the gay community without having to go to the city? Look no further! This group will hopefully serve as an opportunity for those of us in the northern suburbs to make new friends and plan fun and unique social outings. It can be difficult finding other local LGBT folks when we're limited to the downtown scene. The lack of suburban venues for the gay community can often feel isolating, so let's change that! I welcome anyone to join this group, and I look forward to t …
