This is a group for dog owners who like to walk their dog at Great Brook Farm in Carlisle. I enjoy taking my Boston terrier for walks there and thought it would be fun to form a pack walk. My dog isn't ready for off leash walks yet by herself but has done well off leash in a pack. I'd like to walk on Saturday or Sunday mornings. Let's socialize the dogs and socialize ourselves while we enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise!  We aren't discriminating here, let's bring dogs of all sizes! ;) I'm …

Instead of bringing dogs to a fenced in "boxing ring" to rough house and potentially get hurt, we are bringing them on a focused walk in their most natural state - in a pack. We can do simple paved trails, such as Bare Cove or Pond Meadow Park. Or we can step it up a notch and try the paths less traveled, and go for hikes on the Blue Hills. Location suggestions are welcome! So, all friendly pups and their owners, come join us on our walks for exercise, socialization and some fresh air. Rememb …

This is a group for any runners who enjoy running with their dogs! The carriage lane in Newton makes for an excellent dog jogging route. Join us for a 3-4 mile jog with your dog! All fitness levels welcome and a dog is not necessary to participate!

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!

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.

Hikes are for those in condition who want to meet like minded walkers. Walks/hikes last no more than 3 hours, some as short as an hour. DOGS ARE WELCOME. If you dog is too rambunctious, he must be kept leashed. Some hiking areas require the dog be leashed: Places like Ravenswood (Gloucester), Harold Parker (Andover), Meadowbrook and/or Winnekenni (Haverhill), Salisbury/Newburyport Rail Trail are just a few examples of areas. While we want to socialize, the walks are not slow paced. You should ha …

This group is for those that want to meet new people with or without their dogs. If there is a dog socializing event, all size dogs are welcome as long as they are not to aggressive. If there is a non-dog event, we can go to dinner, grab drinks, read books, pretty much anything. I would love suggestions from members as to things we can do in this area. I would not mind going to Boston on occasion, but prefer being in this area. So, if you would like a gym partner, book club friend, wine tasting …

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 …

Calling all West Highland Terrier owners living West of Boston, MA!! I'd love for my Westie Henri to meet other Westies. We'll meet once a month at different places around Metrowest and let our dogs play. The purpose of this group is gathering Westie owners to socialize and have play dates, share advice and friendship, and create a resource for each other.

I want to try an experiment. Imagine a typical weekday after a long day at work. You finally get home, collapse onto the couch, click on the television…and then you remember—you have a petting zoo meetup to go to in 45 minutes. Problem is you don’t want to go to the petting zoo. Sure, it seemed like it’d be a hoot when you signed up for it eight weeks ago, but dammit your feet are tired, and you just want to relax, and besides—the new episode of Space Commandos is on tonight. So regretfully you …

This is a group for married men who are looking for new male friends to share ideas, philosophy, politics, music, bicycling, hiking, dog walking, scotch, beer, you name it. A few key items: you are happily married and talking about sports is not big on your agenda...or not on your agenda, at all:-) We'll get together to do whatever new members find interesting. Since this is a new group, we're going to ask your input as to what might interest you. Target age group: 40 to 65.

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.

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 …

Are your kids out of the house? Are you finding that your friends that are "the parents of your kids' friends" are not what you need today? This group is for you if you would enjoy meeting people between ages 50 and 70 who are empty nesters and interested in meeting fun-loving and intellectual friends. You might enjoy drinking scotch, fine dining, dancing, cross-country skiing, dog walks, laughs, etc. You also are accepting of those who might enjoy smoking weed, or you enjoy it yourself:-) Initi …

Merry Mutts Meet Up of the North Shore is for area dog owners who enjoy taking their dogs out to walk, romp, and sniff at local dog-friendly places. This group is designed for dogs and their parents who crave fresh air, exercise, and opportunities to socialize. Your dog should be vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and friendly toward other dogs. And you should be diligent in picking up after your pooch. Let's keep our dog-friendly venues clean! And even though "Mutts" is in the group name, pure-breds …

For those looking for companionship on weekend walks and moderate hikes - who won't object to having a friendly dog or two come along now and then. Explore some state parks, TTOR properties, beaches and more and share our favorite places...and let's give ourselves a break on the weekends and set off at 10 am or later! (Although we're not intense, participants should be reasonably fit - able to walk at least 3 miles at a moderate pace - walks will average 90 minutes to 2 hours, maybe longer, som …

I enjoy walking early in the morning and early evening. Since my dog passed away, I don't feel safe walking during these times alone. I'm looking for people who are interested in walking briskly with me between 6-7AM on weekdays and/or between 6-7PM on weeknights. You should be able to easily walk at least four miles within an hour.  I look forward to hearing from you!

We wanted to start a group in order to socialize with other small dog owners in the local area for socializing walks and companionship and sharing of dog caring resources. We also share neighborhood celebrations and and charitable activities. Anyone who has a small doggie and a good heart with a good sense of humor should join us!

This is a meet up group for owners of Yorkshire Terriers who want to share about Yorkie care and set up play dates and walks for their little friends.

"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 …
