Casual in-person meetup for singles who love animals to meet like-minded dog and cat lovers and build new connections.

🐾 Singles with a Heart for Animals 🐶🐱

A casual social meetup for animal lovers, advocates, cat and dog people

Are you single, love dogs and cats, and want to meet people who actually share your values? This night is for you.

Join us for a relaxed, welcoming get-together for animal lovers of all kinds, whether you work in animal welfare, volunteer, foster, donate, or just genuinely love animals and good humans who love them too.

This is not a speed-dating event and not a pressure situation.
Come to make friends, build community, spark conversation, or see where things naturally go.

The only requirement:
✔ You’re single

That’s it.
No age limits.
No expectations.
No awkward icebreakers.

What to expect:
• Easy conversation with like-minded people
• A laid-back, dog-friendly vibe
• People who understand why your phone is full of pet photos
• Space for friendships, connections, or maybe something more

Dogs are welcome and encouraged, as long as they are friendly and leashed.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could meet someone who actually gets me, and loves animals too,” this is your sign.

Come as you are. Leave with new connections. 🐾

PS
Dogs are welcome inside.
