Meetup with other local Large & Giant Dog Owners! All large/giant pooches 80 lbs(as an adult) and over are welcome! This group is an extension of the Cincinnati Reponsible Dog Owners Meetup group, specifically designed for the biggest of the dogs. Those big and sometimes clumsy pups that can't always (or don't always want to) play with smaller dogs. Members are welcome to belong to both groups. If you have a slightly smaller dog that prefers to play with the big pups, contact me and this may be …

While working temporarily in Chicago, I was able to attend some great meetups for Shibas with my two Shibas, Kiko & d"Artagnan, aka Dart. We need a similar group here in Columbus so our Shibas can get lots of socialization and we can share stories about our quirky companions. So if you have a Shiba or two - if more, you must be nuts;-) and want to meet, please let me know and I will start the process. I know of a great fenced dog park where we could meet just north of Columbus and Dublin. Lik …

As part of canine fitness month and in honor of Woofie's birthday funWALK we thought it might be fun for dog owners to meet Friday nights at Highbanks Metro Park at 6:30pm to get in some exercise walking with your dog and meet other dog owners who share the same interest.

All single Cincinnati/NKY dog lovers are invited to join in this fun Meet-Up. Dogs are great companions, some of our best friends and wonderful ice breakers. What a great excuse to get together for a singles night! I plan on organizing at least one Meet-Up/month. Cincinnati is home to WagsPark, one of the biggest and best private dog parks in the city. Three acres of fenced in fun.  A beautiful park-like setting featuring two large ponds, dock diving, a splash area with fountains and an agility …

I have a 12lb Shorkie (shih tzu and a yorkie mix) that is barely a year and half old. He's very active and benefits from socializing. His best friend, a 120lb German Shepherd, moved out with his owner about a month ago and now he's all alone. I'd like to setup the occasional small dog (friendly large dogs welcome) playgroup. I live in Hilliard, Oh with a fenced yard, but we can certanly go out to parks if this becomes a succcess. Hope this is something you're interested in. If you have a fenced …

Man's best friend is a dog, but sometimes we need people friends too!! This is a group hoping to make friends in Columbus through their four-legged companions! I am a young professional in the area and have been hoping to make more friends while including my beloved pup in on the fun! I have a Border Collie puppy and would love for her to socialize with other puppies and dogs of similar activity level, but this group is definitely not intended to exclude any breed! I live in the Upper Arlington …
