What we’re about
Welcome to the Chippewa Valley Pug Meetup, where pug enthusiasts foster a vibrant community among pug owners and their adorable companions. Our mission is to support the enrichment, well-being, and social needs of pugs and other smush-faced breeds through regular play, outdoor adventures, and group activities that keep them happy, healthy, and engaged.
Join us for fun and friendly gatherings at local dog parks and on nature walks throughout Menomonie, Chippewa Falls, and Eau Claire. Whether it’s a playful meetup at the park or a stroll along a scenic trail, our activities are designed to provide exercise, stimulation, and social time for your pug—all while helping owners build lasting connections with fellow dog lovers.
At the Chippewa Valley Pug Meetup, we celebrate the unique bond between pug parents and their furry friends. It’s not just about companionship—it’s about creating a supportive network that puts the needs and happiness of our pugs first. We look forward to welcoming you and your smush-faced sidekick to the fun!
