This group is to bring together people who are involved with animal rescue or would like to be involved with animal rescue for fun events that will help to raise funds for the Karma Cat and Z …

Every rescued dog is a success story, and this group can be a place to share your dog's own story while meeting other people who have made the same commitment to saving an animal from a shelter, the streets, or any other bad situation. Join us for a casual leashed walk around Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Since many people are kind enough to adopt dogs with behavioral issues, this isn't a playgroup, but rather a low-key pack walk. Our walks generally last 1.5 hours, and may involve some hills and/o …

New York Animal Rights Alliance America is now waging a revolution on the New York Center for Animal Care and Control. We hit the streets in large numbers with flyers and signs to give the City of NY a strong message, WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE THE SLAUGHTER OF OUR DOGS AND CATS **ANYMORE** and demand the killing ends now, that the pounds in Queens and the Bronx be built after the city just won their appeal NOT to build them, that decency and compassion and patience and MONEY is allocated to our …

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 …

Are you looking for fun ways to socialize your dog while meeting new people who share a reward based training philosophy? 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 are subject to discrimination based on a variety of factors beyond just breed type. Dogs who are vocal, fearful, large in size, reactive on leash, pull hard on lead, une …

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.

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. Let's help our pets make new …
