Brooklyn Basin Small Dog Meetup – National Pet Parents Day Edition!

Back by pup-ular demand!

Our first Brooklyn Basin Small Dog Meetup was a huge hit, with small dogs from all over the East Bay coming together for a tail-wagging good time—so we’re doing it again!

Join us for our second small dog meetup as we celebrate National Pet Parents Daywith our furry best friends. This is the perfect chance to meet fellow dog parents, let your pup socialize, and enjoy a beautiful day by the waterfront.

Expect adorable pups, great company, and plenty of fun—plus, we’ve got some surprises in store that you won’t want to miss! Whether you came to the last one or are joining us for the first time, all friendly small dogs and their humans are welcome.

Date: Saturday, April 27th
Time: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Location: Township Commons Park – Brooklyn Basin, Oakland
Who: Small dogs & their humans
