Toronto Dating Hub: National Dog Day Singles Meetup for Dog Owners
About this Event
🐶 National Dog Day Singles Meetup for Dog Owners 🐾
Your dog already knows you're a great catch… now meet other single dog owners who understand the joy (and chaos!) of life with a furry best friend. ❤️
Celebrate National Dog Day with Toronto Dating Hub at a relaxed outdoor singles social designed specifically for dog owners and their pups.
We'll start with time for dogs and humans to meet, mingle, and get comfortable before enjoying a fun group walk together through downtown Toronto. Along the way, we'll have dog-themed icebreakers, conversation starters, and plenty of opportunities to connect naturally with fellow singles.
🐕 What to Expect:
✨ Meet other single dog owners in Toronto
✨ Dog-friendly icebreakers and games
✨ A relaxed group walk with your pup
✨ Photo opportunities with your furry companion
✨ Optional patio/park hang afterward for those who want to continue socializing
🐾 About Your Dog:
To help everyone have a safe and enjoyable experience, please only bring dogs who are:
✅ Friendly and comfortable around other dogs and people
✅ Vaccinated and healthy
✅ Comfortable walking on a leash in a group setting
✅ Able to handle a social environment with new people and pets
Please bring:
🐶 Leash (non-retractable preferred)
💧 Water and a portable bowl for your dog
💩 Waste bags
🐕 Any treats, toys, or items your dog needs to feel comfortable
We understand not every dog is comfortable in large groups. If your dog cannot attend due to temperament, age, health, or other circumstances, please reach out before purchasing so we can discuss whether attending without your dog makes sense for this particular event.
Toronto Dating Hub is facilitating a social gathering for participants and their dogs. Each owner remains fully responsible for the care, supervision, and conduct of their own dog throughout the event.
🌧️ Weather Plan:
This event is planned as an outdoor experience. If weather does not cooperate, we'll adjust the format and location to ensure everyone can still enjoy a dog-friendly social experience. But this is a rain or shine event because National Dog Day comes only once a year on Aug 26!
📍 Exact meetup details and event instructions will be provided to registered attendees.
This is not a typical singles mixer — it's a chance to meet like-minded dog owners through a shared experience your pup can enjoy too. 🐾❤️
Feeling nervous cause you've never been to a singles event? Not sure what to say/ how to get noticed? Sign up for a coaching session beforehand (email us at [email protected]) to book this or add that option to your cart when you check out!
🐾FAQ’s:
🐶 Do I need to bring a dog to attend?
Yes. This event is designed specifically for single dog owners and their pups. Your dog is part of the experience, so attendees should plan to bring their dog with them.
If your dog cannot attend due to age, health, temperament, or other circumstances, please contact us before purchasing so we can confirm whether attending without your dog is a good fit for this event.
🐕 What type of dogs are welcome?
We welcome friendly dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages who are comfortable being around new people and other dogs.
For everyone's safety and enjoyment, please only bring dogs who are:
✅ Comfortable around other dogs and people

If your dog is nervous, reactive, or uncomfortable in busy environments, please reach out before purchasing so we can discuss whether this event is suitable.
🦮 Can I bring more than one dog?
Yes, as long as you are confident you can safely manage your dogs throughout the event and they are comfortable in a group setting.
🐾 Can I bring my friend or another person with me?
This event is designed for single dog owners looking to meet other singles. Every attendee must purchase their own ticket.
If your friend is also a single dog owner, they are welcome to join us!
👥 Is this a speed dating event?
No. This is a relaxed singles social focused on meeting people naturally through a shared activity.
Instead of sitting across from someone for timed conversations, you'll connect through games, walking together, and chatting with other dog owners throughout the experience.

We always aim to create a welcoming and balanced environment across our events. However, this particular event is focused on bringing together dog owners for a unique social experience, so a specific gender ratio is not guaranteed.
