San Francisco Chihuahua Meetup

WTF? how is it that after 3 years of having a furry chihuahua son that i still haven’t reviewed this yet? WHERE HAVE I BEEN?
when i got Yogi, my black and tan, long legged, sweet, non-​yappy Chihuahua 3 years ago, i googled everything having to do with Chis and meetups, anything and everything. i found this meetup right away and couldn’t wait to meet other chihuahuas and chi-​humans like myself.
if i could give this meetup 10 stars i would, 100 stars, because really, hanging out with a bunch of little dogs for 2 hrs is pure merriment and totally priceless. and despite the name, we don’t discriminate — other small dog breeds have been known to come to our meet up and our Christmas parties. this is a great great time for the dogs and fun for the owners too — i’ve made some nice friends and met people who totally get why i have a chihuahua (you can call it a support group too!). if you have a small dog and you want to get him or her socialized in a nice, friendly, controlled setting, this is the place.
another great thing is that we have rescue groups come with their adoptable dogs to not only socialize them but in hopes that someone would like to foster or adopt (or know someone who would). we’ve even had local vendors come, a vet tech comes for nail trimmings and anal gland expressing (cuz you KNOW you don’t wanna do it yourself! blech), we have birthday parties (complete with dog AND human treats), and of course dress up for halloween and other holidays. AND the money that they get from donations goes to helping small dogs in need, transporting them to their foster or forever homes, and saving dogs’ lives.
pretty much everything about this meetup is a warm fuzzy. thanks to Kate S. for organizing a wonderful place for our chis and other small pups to wander around sniffing butts and peeing on everything! Yogi loves coming here every month and so does his mama. It’s totally smile therapy.

There are some great people and a lot of amazing little chis at this meetup! This group and it’s leader, Kate, do a lot of fund raising and work in finding homes for homeless chis. It is a great group to join!

This is a great group for socializing your Chihuahua, Chi-​mixes and small dogs :) Fun, fun, fun!
Meet lots of great people and amazing dogs.
Adoptable dogs from local rescues are always at the meetups.
Local vendors often enjoy are at the meetups, too!
