5 Dog Lover Communities to Check Out
While researching dog lover communities I came across a fun term, petworking! How cute is that, networking for your pets! Whether you are looking to connect with other dog lovers, find a significant other who shares the same passion for dogs as you, or dog friendly places in your area, take a look at this list of dog lover communities.
Dig
Dig claims they are “the dog person’s dating app” and is a dating app built to connect dog people based on what’s most important to them, their dog(s). Founded by sisters Casey and Leigh Isaacson, the idea was born after they were tired on being duped by fake dog lovers. Users create a profile and based on information you provide the app provides potential matches. Users can “dig”, “really dig”, or “pass” on someone. The app also provides first date ideas with its dog-friendly locations feature and also daily deals for dog related products and services.
Dog Date Afternoon
Dog Date Afternoon is similar to other dating apps and allows you to browse profiles of other single people with dogs in your area. The app has sections for both you and for your canine companion. A fun feature Dog Date Afternoon has is you can notify your matches when you and your dog are going on a walk, hike, or to the park.
Meetup.com
Meetup.com is a great way to meet dog lovers. There is usually a Meetup group for just about everything. Meetup allows people to find people with similar interests in their area. You can explore by city, search social groups, career groups, and creativity groups. Meetup.com also gives you the option to create a group. You’re likely going to find local dog lover communities on this website.

ShareHi my name is Zola! My friends at ACCT think I'm about 3yrs old. I am a friendly social butterfly with all people, and would probably do well with other doggos, but haven’t had an official meet yet. I have good leash manners and love walks! In addition to being housetrained, my PenPal says I’m a smart cookie because I know “sit” and am working on “paw”. I am looking for my forever home filled with lots of belly rubs, treats, and love. Can that be you? If so, please reach out to my PenPal at chipjfoster@gmail.com and milano96@hotmail.com
Lola ACCT

Tyson PSPCA
ShareYo, my name is Tyson, and I'm interviewing humans to be my family. I've got high standards so you better be ready. You must have treats around and be willing to feed them to me when I do amazing things, like sit or lay down. Oh, and I have no patience for other pets or small humans just learning to walk; only full grown humans need apply. I don't do apartments or city life; I'm a country boy at heart. Lastly, I know I'm being picky, but I believe that perfect home is out there, waiting just for me. And I bet they're picky too. Email adoptions@pspca.org if you want to have an interview with me!

I found a lovely foster home with a cute little canine foster sister, and we're taking on the world! I can be a little shy to begin with, but I'm learning everyday that life is grand! I can't wait to find my forever home so I can settle into my new life. Email my friends at adoptions@pspca.org to learn all about me!

He's a man on a mission to settle down for good !" Email his friends at adoptions@pspca.org to learn more about him!
Lil Boy PSPCA
ShareMy name is Lil boy. I'm a preciously adorable "pocket-pittie" at just about 40 lb! I am a very sweet boy, who is shy in new situations, but once I figure out that you're a friend, I'll be a pal for life! A home with a private outdoor space would be a dream come true for me so that I can do my thing in peace. I'm also a big fan of other pups, so if I could wind up in a home with a confident resident pup to show me the ropes, that would make me so so happy! Please email my good friends at adoptions@pspca.org to learn more about me!

King PSPCA
ShareRoyal King is such a sweet and handsome fellow who is looking for a family (dog savvy teens are ideal) who will give him a consistent and predictable life. He also likes to use the agility equipment at the shelter and is really, really eager to please. Of course there is his silly side where if you run he chases you and when he catches up looks for a big hug. Moderate exercise each day is all he needs plus a warm cozy bed to cuddle up in at night. Since he has so much love to give, it is best that he is the only pet in the household. If you would like to find out more about this royal King, contact his friends at adoptions@pspca.org.

Fluff PSPCA
ShareHi there. My name is Fluff. I am as friendly as I am handsome--so that means I'm very friendly! I'm 11 years old, but age is just a number! Being older means I've had more time to mature. I am social, but am also content to do my own thing. I like to be held, but I can get a little over-stimulated when being handled for too long. My slight sensitivities make me a good candidate for homes with older children who will be respectful of my me-time. If you are looking for a snuggly companion who is also independent, I could be the one for you! Please come to the PSPCA and consider giving me my second chance.
Buddy PSPCA
ShareIntroducing... the amazing, incredible, adorably short-legged, Buddy! His foster mom has worked incredibly hard to teach Buddy how to love and trust humans and he has grown leaps and bounds! She reports: "Buddy is a sweet and curious pup. He enjoys playing chase, catching tennis balls, and rolling in the grass. He is still learning to trust but has come a long way and will trade belly rubs for morning kisses!" Buddy is looking for a warm and loving home with people who can help him continue on his journey. Reach out to his friends at behavior@pspca.org
Lilo PSPCA
ShareWhere in the world can I find a dog I can take to brunch with me?" Well, my friend, look no further. Meet Lilo. She may be a little shy at first, but it doesn't take long for this love bug to come out of her shell. She's completely housebroken, knows how to sit, and does great with "leave it" commands! She doesn't mind cats, but would probably do better without young kids in the house until she's settled. Lilo is spayed and vaccinated. While she's so happy in her foster home, she'd love to have a permanent address. If you think you'd be a good fit for Lilo, reach out to our adoptions team at adoptions@pspca.org.
