Meet other local hiking enthusiasts. Make a new friend or three. Burn a few calories. Enjoy nature in our beautiful Westchester County, the Hudson Valley and beyond!! G.M.Trevelyan once said: "We are literally children of the earth, and removed from her our spirits wither or run to various forms of insanity. Unless we can refresh ourselves at least by intermittant contact with nature, we grow awry." This is a hiking group with intermediate to difficult hikes, that will include rock scambles. Yo …

If you've never exposed your Shiba to this kind of play group, you're in for a real treat! If you don't have a Shiba Inu but are considering getting one, feel free to …

Something that all dogs need: Exercise, Walks & Mental Stimulation!! Pooky's club was originally established in 2003 as a "cockers" only meetup. I created it to exercise & socialize my "reactive" dog around other dogs & to meet other cocker owners in the area who love the breed as much as I do. Soon thereafter, people started contacting me saying that they didnt have a cocker, but could they come pleazzzze? So effective 2006 I changed it to Pooky's All Breed Dog Walking Club! All breeds & ages …

This is a group for dog lovers who want to create great spaces and fun gatherings for their poochies and themselves, in their neighborhoods. My hidden agenda for taking this group on, is based on my having 24 hours to kill in the Fort Lauderdale area before catching a plane. So, I decided to visit dog parks around town- and MAN-OH-WOMAN-OH-CANINE, do our dog 'parks' bite! So, I'm thinking we'll set up some meet-ups in typical dog gathering areas (New City and Kakiak dog runs, Rockland State Park …

Our aim is to solely provide Help (in whatever form) to a variety of needs, such as Organizations that assist children. So any kind of fundraising or visiting or "adopting" a childrens ward and working with them in what they think is good for the children to raise spirits is one angle. I also love dogs and there are many shelters because of the many problems of overbreeding, crossbreeding, abuse and abandonement and so on. Connecting with the ASPCA would be best to determine ways to help in the …

This is a group to get people together who support animal rights. We will list all types of events from animal group tricky trays to just general animal events around northern new jersey. A number of friends of mine love these kinds of events so I'm sure there are more of us out there. With Hurricane Sandy a few people I know have been taking donations for furry friends as well as the humans who need help and what better way to reach out to people to help with donations than on a meetup site.

Exercise and discipline are key elements in raising a healthy, balanced, and happy best friend. Walking with our dogs is awesome for both us and our dogs. It is great exercise and great for our health, soothes anxiety, and strengthens the bond between us and our dogs. This group is just about that. It is about fun, good health, and making good friends, for both us and our pups. We plan to hold dog pack walks that meet in various parts of Central Park. We welcome dogs of all sizes and just reques …
