A group for people and dogs in the Davis Square and surrounding area to get together and coordinate to go on walks or dog parks together so the dogs can get some exercise and socialization. It doesn't have to be a big event, just say you're going somewhere, and anyone else wanting to go can chime in!

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!

Little dogs do best when socialized regularly! It's not always easy to bring our little ones to dog parks and let them run around in the general mix. Chihuahuas in particular love their own kind, and love to meet other little dogs. Puppies learn so much from socializing and it's great for rescues too. Small breeds 15lbs and under are welcome! Please bring a lawn chair and make sure to clean up after your dog.  We are in a secure fenced in yard, meetups are weather permitting. Address TBA in the …

I am the owner of Boston's Walk N' Wag and would like to provide a way for dog owners to get together and let the dogs play while meeting people in the North End neighborhood.

I will be renting an indoor ring in Franklin, MA for an hour of dog play.  The group will be limited to 5 dogs initially.  Your Poodle must be socialized and get along with other dogs and people.

Welcome Shibas! I am the proud owner of a beautiful 5 year old Shiba Inu named Jayden. We moved to Boston in October 2011. After the success of setting up our last Shiba Inu meet up (17 Shibas) we decided to start up our own in the Boston Area. I love to keep Jayden active and meeting other Shibas is great for our pups. I will keep this Shiba group, active and updated at all times, to give all the Shibas in the Boston area chances to play with other Shibas. The meetups will be at several differe …

We are a community of dog owners and dog lovers working together to support and encourage safe dog socialization through structured weekly pack walks. (We are NOT a stand around and play group.) We will hold regular, structured off-leash group walks and nature hikes at various times and locations around the Boston metro west and neighboring areas. We urge participants to use our outings as an opportunity to encourage and reinforce positive socialization skills and the behaviors you want your dog …

"Calling all medium and big dogs owners! Let's have our "4-legged" children (rescued or purchased, mixed or pure breed) meet and socialize once a week on either Saturday or Sunday at a near-by park. We can laugh over their antics, swap dog stories and brag about our beloved pets.

I have 2 standard poodles who love to play and socialize. We go to a couple of other dog meetups but don't meet too many other big dogs for running and more robust play. We're hoping to get together with any larger breeds who like to play and run too. We live in Southie, but we especially like Cat Rock Park in Weston. We are open to anyplace we can be off-leash in a safe or fenced place.

This meetup is for ALL dogs and their companions to enjoy each others' company out in the fresh air. All dogs and their companions are welcome to join - we do not discriminate against anyone! Small, Medium, Large, Furry or Furless, we love you all. To start, we'll meet once or twice a month at a park in or near Waltham. If there's demand, we'll meet more frequently. Membership to this meetup is free. Feel free but not obliged to contribute a dollar or two after a few meetup events.

This is a group for anyone with a Lab or Lab mix who enjoys the outdoors and wants their dog to socialize with other Labs. I love taking my dog Riley to the park and for hikes on the weekends, and I thought I would start this group to see if anyone else wants to join in. We will meet a couple times a month at different places around the state or in MA. I'm also looking for some ideas for new places to go.

Calling all Aussie and Border Collie owners! This is a group for anyone who owns an Australian Shepherd or Border Collie and is interested in dog playtime, as well as learning more about the breed from other members. Let's get together for some off-leash fun whether local or in the New England area. The sky is the limit...frisbee, hiking, sheep herding, agility, state parks, kayaking (!), camping, or visiting that perfect swimming hole. Let's bring our dogs together and make those cute Aussie bu …

Meet other local Boxer Owners to trade stories and tips. Get your dog - and yourself - out for some fun! Also looking for some suggestions of maybe where people with boxers can meet up and let them play....Callahan State Park, Hopkinton State Park, Ashland State Park, Cat Rock?

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 …

"Social in the Suburbs" (formally "Single in the Suburbs") "Suggest a Meetup" If you have a fun event idea, that you would like to do, and want to invite others to join you, then you can post it as an "event suggestion".  If more than three people like the event suggestion, then it will automatically become an event.  This way, everyone who is interested can meet and enjoy a fun activity together.  The event host will become the person who posted the suggestion, and that person can communicate w …

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!

Fact: Cats don’t socialize the way dogs do. Which means cat people don’t have social outlets like obedience classes and off-leash parks where they can share stories about their furry children, find out who the best vet and/or pet-sitter in the area is, and lots of other useful things. This Meetup group is looking to change that. If you are an aficionado of the feline, rather than the canine, version of a family pet – and especially if you are owned by more than one cat – this is the place to get …
