This is a group for dog owners of all breeds, many of whom may face discrimination based on breed, disability. size, or reactivity: the “Underdogs”. Our group’s mission was initially focused on educating the public in an effort to combat the negative perceptions that are wrongly associated with pit bull-type dogs.  However, it soon became obvious that dogs subject to discrimi …

Greyhound Meetup There are so few organized social groups for rescued greyhounds and their owners in NJ. That is why I wanted to start this group. Greyhounds can socialize with each other in relaxed environments such as beaches, parks, or other appropriate venues. I think rescued greyhounds should interact with other greyhounds as often as possible. I take my greyhound out to beaches and parks often, but I rarely see other greyhounds in the parks and on the beaches. …

Its hard for me to keep up with the longer legged breeds, so I am hoping through this meetup group I can meet more of my own kind. Please come join my group, and we can become best friends. Plus o …

I'm sure other people with herding dogs feel the same and I figure it might be fun to get together and do things with our energetic companions. This purpose of this meetup group is to meet other border collie (and similar breed) lovers, learn about training techniques an …
