Where dogs & owners get together to enjoy the great outdoors

The Tampa Bay Dog Lovers Group was founded because, at the time, no other all-inclusive dog groups existed in the Tampa Bay area. All dog-related meetup groups were tailored to specific breeds.

We believe all breeds should be welcome to socialize and have fun together! The purpose of this group is to provide pup-friendly activities so dogs and their owners can enjoy the sights, food and fun that Tampa Bay has to offer.

Our goal for the Tampa Bay Dog Lovers Group is three-fold:
1. to plan events at dog parks in order to socialize our pups in a safe and fun environment,
2. to plan events at dog-friendly venues in order to socialize our pups and provide entertainment for pup owners,
3. and to support local no-kill shelters and rescue organizations by informing members of fundraisers.

Not all members will be interested in all events, but we hope that by including all three types of events, we will be able to meet the needs of the majority of our members.

Your suggestions are always welcome and extremely appreciated! Please email me at TampaBayDogLoversGroup@gmail.com or message any of the assistant organizers via the meetup site with event suggestions, suggestions for ways to improve the community, or with information regarding upcoming fundraising events.

If you are unable to find the group at an event, if you get lost on the way to an event, or if you need to reach me by phone for any other reason, feel free to call at (813) 418-2884.

Please take note: If your pups are not well socialized or are aggressive, you may need to enroll them in obedience classes before they attend a TBDLG event. With that being said, you know your dogs. Use your best judgment when deciding whether your pups are ready to be a part of this well-behaved group.

Now let’s CELEBRATE DIVERSITY and have some fun!
