Hello all! I'm new in Berlin and have been desperately seeking Fido, since I got here. My life back in the States included a job at a veterinary clinic and a pet sitting business, so my own dog was never lonely. Here we've been trying valiantly to meet other friendly, playful dogs but owners seem much less interested in socializing their animals than they are in New York. Of course, New York is a bit of an anomaly but regardless, my guy needs friends. He's small, about 18lbs (8kgs) and most of the dog runs I've found are filled with Rottweilers and German Shepherds. I love big dogs too, but usually he gets trampled in the first minute and takes himself out of the game. So, I'm asking if there are folks out there who have mid-small sized or gentle large sized dogs who would like to meet for play dates? I'll be happy to organize a group but want to know if there is an interest before I do. Thanks ahead of time. (Advice is welcome as well unless it's "get a second dog". Not possible in this Wohnung.)
